Steelers Lock Up Drew Allar on Rookie Deal as QB Room Takes Shape

Pittsburgh signed quarterback Drew Allar to a rookie contract on July 24, adding a third option behind Aaron Rodgers as training camp approaches. The move slots Allar into the depth chart behind Rodgers and Will Howard, giving the Steelers a full quarterback room heading into the summer.

The signing is routine roster maintenance at this stage of the offseason — teams want their quarterback depth settled before camp opens, and Pittsburgh is no different. Rodgers, who threw for 3,468 yards and 24 touchdowns across 17 games last season, is firmly the starter, and nothing about this move changes that picture.

With the roster otherwise largely stable and most of the offseason business concluded, the Allar signing is one of the final pieces of a quiet summer in Pittsburgh.
