All eyes are on the Chicago Bears to see whether they’ll stick with quarterback Justin Fields. The Arizona Cardinals also have a similar scenario, but it seems they have already decided to remain committed to Kyler Murray, according to reports.
The Pittsburgh Steelers also have a quarterback dilemma involving Kenny Pickett. And the Indianapolis Colts will have a decision to make with pending free agent Gardner Minshew.
Also, will there be drastic changes with the Tennessee Titans missing the postseason again with an aging roster?
We take a look at the possible changes involving notable quarterbacks and a prominent head coach in Nashville for this week’s “Fact or Fiction.”
It’s not looking good for Pickett to retain his starting job next season with the Steelers. He’s healthy, but coach Mike Tomlin will likely continue starting Mason Rudolph for the wild-card game. (The Steelers clinched a playoff spot with the Jacksonville Jaguars’ loss to the Titans.) Also, the Steelers’ offense has drastically improved since Rudolph took over and guided the team to a three-game winning streak to end the regular season. The Steelers could give Pickett one more season because they invested a first-round pick in him two years ago. Also, Pickett could point the blame at former offensive coordinator Matt Canada for why he struggled in his first two seasons. Pittsburgh should at least add another quarterback to compete with Pickett, or perhaps it’s a training camp battle between him and Rudolph. But it’s tough seeing Rudolph playing this well through a full NFL season. Whatever approach the team takes, it can’t just hand Pickett the starting job the way it did this past offseason. Pickett had 2,070 passing yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions in 12 starts this season.
