Who Should I Start? Ryan Tannehill or Trace McSorley

ESPN's Brooke Pryor suggests that the Pittsburgh Steelers could opt to bring in Tennessee Titans impending free-agent quarterback Ryan Tannehill as a short-term fix at the position if they want to give Kenny Pickett more time to develop in 2024. It makes some sense given Tannehill's success in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's system in Tennessee -- Tannehill earned his lone Pro Bowl nod in 2019 with Smith running the offense. However, Tannehill is now 35 years old and wouldn't have the type of aerial weapons that he did when he had a career-best season in Tennessee. Pittsburgh has also expressed interest in re-signing Mason Rudolph, who was more efficient after taking over for Pickett while leading the team to a playoff berth.

The Chicago Bears signed quarterback Trace McSorley to their practice squad on Tuesday. McSorley last spent time with the New England Patriots but was released by the team late in August when they went to trim their roster down to 53. Chicago's signing of McSorley will give them depth in their quarterback room with Justin Fields tending to a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand. For now, it looks like rookie Tyson Bagent will start in Week 7 with Nathan Peterman operating as his backup.
