View topic - Steelers Re-Sign QB Bruce Gradkowski

[Steelers76 Profile]

The Steelers have come to terms with back-up QB Bruce Gradkowski on a 1 year deal. Gradkowski, 33 years old, has been the reserve signal caller here since 2013, but injured his finger in pre-season and missed the entire 2015 campaign.

I'm good with this move. He's still obviously better than Landry Jones backing up BR7, and a million times better than past his prime lowlife Michael Vick. Don't want to draft a QB unless it's Ben's successor, so I'm glad they didn't go that route.

I totally agree, 76. There has been a little murmuring on the board about "we should have drafted a QB", but I didn't see anyone who we could have got that would have made any difference. No reason to just waste a pick on a guy who will likely never play in the NFL. I also agree that Gradkowski is a legit backup, and way better than Michael Prick or Dirty Laundry Jones. Good signing.
