The Pittsburgh Steelers have made fundamental changes to their structure and will be heading towards the next NFL season with further changes, hoping that these modifications will help the squad move ahead in the season.
They have signed Super Bowl veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, and the other quarterback is Justin Fields. They have traded Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles. They have also acquired linebacker Patrick Queen, cornerback Donte Johnson, and safety DeShon Elliot.
The owners of the Steelers, Art Rooney II, has recently shared the upcoming plans of the squad, indicating that their vision is to get better in a timely manner.
According to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rooney shared, “I think every year we try and figure out how do we get better and how do we get better as quickly as possible. That’s really the bottom line, to try to get better as quickly as possible.”
The owner believes that with the acquisition of the offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, and other prospects, the squad is in a good position. Regarding the upcoming draft, Rooney shared, “The draft is the next priority and we’ve got to do a good job with the draft.”
The owner is also keen on ending the playoff drought, as the last playoff game Steelers won was in 2016. As per ESPN, the owner had earlier shared, “We’ve had enough of this. It’s time to get some wins; it’s time to take these next steps.”
He has also shown confidence for the head coach, Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith. The approach with which the Steelers are now moving is to improve their chances for the next season.
