Analysis: Why 2021 might (finally) be Steelers’ time to find future QB

he Patriots’ signing of Cam Newton earlier this week likely was the final piece of the puzzle to fall into place in the NFL’s offseason quarterback market.

Colin Kaepernick still is out there, but he’s been available the past few offseasons and has gone unsigned. And nobody is going to offer him a starting job, so he likely will go unsigned this offseason, as well.

The interesting thing about New England’s situation is that Newton, at 31, could be their long-term replacement for Tom Brady, even though he is signed to a one-year, incentive-laden deal. And if that’s the case, it would take the Patriots out of the quarterback market for 2021 since they wouldn’t likely turn to Jared Stidham and Brian Hoyer.

Which isn’t a bad thing for the Steelers.

With Ben Roethlisberger now 38, they’ll be in that market, so every team that isn’t makes it more likely they could get a talented quarterback in the first round if they so choose.

So, with the smoke having cleared on the current quarterback market, let’s take a look at teams that will be comfortable with their quarterback situation in 2021 and teams that won’t.
