The Pittsburgh Steelers signed backup QB Mitch Trubisky to a two-year contract extension. General Manager Omar Khan announced a deal was close on the Pat McAfee Show, and a confirmed deal was announced shortly thereafter.
Trubisky started for the Steelers for a short time before the team handed the keys to Kenny Pickett, who will be the expected starter in 2023. Trubisky is a solid backup who can win you a game or two if needed, but probably isn't consistent enough to be a starter in the NFL.
Pittsburgh also re-signed third-stringer Mason Rudolph earlier this week, giving Pickett a strong sense of continuity in the quarterback room for September. more qb news:
The Houston Texans picked Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft; we know this. What is puzzling is that the team fleeced everyone into thinking they weren't taking a quarterback - so much so that several mock drafts as early as two weeks before had the team going defense at No. 2. Texans owner Cal McNair insisted that he had no influence on the pick of Stroud. "Hannah and I don't make the picks," McNair said at the team's charity golf event.
"We have a great group of scouts led by Nick [Caserio] and James Lippert," McNair continued, "and they did a lot of work on the draft board, and then they followed that on draft day, and they moved up when they saw the value was there and moved back."
Houston, famously, picked Stroud at No. 2 and then traded up to take Alabama defensive end Will Anderson Jr. The Texans are certainly doing everything they can to improve their roster, which has been one of the weakest in the NFL for the past few seasons. I, personally, love the presence of new head coach DeMeco Ryans and think he can make a huge impact on trying to change the course of the franchise. It probably won't be this year, or even next, but they definitely have the ability to slowly get better with time. more Qb news:
The New York Jets are clearly excited about having QB Aaron Rodgers on their side, including WR Garrett Wilson. "I'd be lying if I said we add someone of Aaron Rodgers' pedigree and the expectation doesn't go up a little bit."

The Carolina Panthers are wrapping up their private visits with the top 2023 quarterback prospects. Ohio State's CJ Stroud and Kentucky's Will Levis will visit with the team next week.
The Panthers have also met with Florida's Anthony Richardson and Bryce Young from Alabama and have attended all of the top prospects' Pro Days. Carolina will have their choie of quarterbacks with the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft in two weeks. Young is currently the favorite, but we all know it's #lyingseason. more qb news:
The New York Jets are supposed to sign Aaron Rodgers eventually, but we're still waiting. As things stand right now, Rodgers has said he intends to be shipped off to New Jersey, but... we're still waiting. As things stand right now, Rodgers worked out with former and future teammate Allen Lazard recently, who was on Rodgers' rumored 'list' of players he wanted the Jets to sign before he came aboard.
Further, Jets GM Joe Douglas said on Friday night, "he's gonna be here," in response to a question regarding Rodgers' status.
So, in other words, we still don't know. more QB news:
Bill Belichick hasn't yet committed to QB Mac Jones starting for the New England Patriots in 2023. I think he's just being Belichick, but others seem to think the tension between the two is real.
We all saw Jones scream on the sideline many times, frustrated. As he had a right to when you make your defensive coordinator your offensive coordinator (?). Jones wasn't bad his rookie season and then went through a dramatic second year as a pawn in the Matt Patricia experiment.
I know Belichick is controlling, but he's not dumb. Let Jones have another year with an actual OC before you ship him off elsewhere. Speaking of, a report also surfaced on Tuesday that Belichick shopped Jones to teams including Washington, Tennessee and Vegas. I'm not so sure about that. more QB news:
The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl Champions. Again. And Patrick Mahomes is Super Bowl MVP. Again. After winning the league's Most Valuable Player Award on Thursday, Mahomes is the first player to win both in the same season since 1999. He's also the first regular-season passing yards leader to win the Super Bowl. Mahomes completed 21 of 27 passes for 182 yards and three touchdowns. On a bum ankle. And added an additional 44 yards rushing. more QB News:
Lamar Jackson finally broke his silence to address his knee issue that's been plaguing him all season. Unwritten in this tweet is that Jackson doesn't sound like he'll be back anytime should, should the Baltimore Ravens advance to the next round. Jackson was not present at Ravens practice on Thursday. Tyler Huntley appears to be in line to be the starter for Baltimore this weekend; he threw during Thursday's session, something he didn't do last week.

Prayers up to Thompson, who faces a tough Buffalo defense this weekend. ??
