Steelers Caught Lying About 2 Critical Positions As Insider Calls Them Out

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had several uncertainties on the offensive side of the football for many years now. It appeared that the wide receiver issue was finally solved when the team traded for DK Metcalf. Pairing Metcalf with George Pickens was supposed to create a lethal one-two punch, giving the Steelers a physical and explosive duo on the outside. However, in a surprising move, Pittsburgh traded Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys, leaving fans and analysts questioning the direction of the offense once again.

Despite the shakeup, Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin have publicly expressed strong confidence in the current wide receiver room. They have praised the work ethic and potential of young players like Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson. Still, few are convinced this group can consistently deliver. The lack of a proven number two option behind Metcalf has become a major concern, especially for a team trying to develop rhythm and identity on offense.

Steelers insider Gerry Dulac is one of the more vocal skeptics. On the Randy Baumann and the DVE Morning Show, Dulac said he has proof the Steelers are not being truthful about their wide receiver situation. He pointed to the quarterback rotation and the cautious offensive approach as key indicators. Dulac believes the team’s actions speak louder than their words and that the lack of trust in the passing game reveals a much deeper concern behind closed doors.

"For two years, they said they were comfortable with Mason Rudolph as their quarterback and all they kept doing was bringing in other quarterbacks," Dulac said. "The fact that they say that they're comfortable, what else are they going to say?"

The Steelers’ quarterback situation has been just as confusing as their wide receiver shuffle, and maybe even more telling. Ever since Ben Roethlisberger retired, Pittsburgh has been scrambling to find a reliable replacement, but nothing has stuck. They drafted Kenny Pickett with the hope that he could become the long-term answer under center. 

That dream didn’t last long. After an inconsistent stretch and growing frustration behind the scenes, the Steelers decided to move on. When Pickett reportedly expressed displeasure with the team’s decision to sign veteran Russell Wilson, the front office wasted no time shipping him out.

The Steelers didn’t stop there. They also acquired former Chicago Bears first-round pick Justin Fields in what looked like a calculated move to foster competition and possibly find a spark. Publicly, the team made it clear they liked both quarterbacks and were open to building around one of them for the future. However, those words ultimately meant nothing. When the season ended, Pittsburgh let both Wilson and Fields walk in free agency without much resistance. The decision left many scratching their heads, especially considering the uncertainty that still looms over the position.

Then came the next twist. Rather than investing in a new option, the Steelers brought back Mason Rudolph, who had just spent a season with the Tennessee Titans. Now the organization is trying to sell Rudolph as the guy, saying they have complete confidence in his ability to lead the offense.

Steelers Not Being Honest About QB Concern

Dulac, however, isn’t buying it. He recently revealed that he has evidence the team’s words don’t match their actions, pointing specifically to Pittsburgh’s behind-the-scenes pursuit of Rodgers. According to Dulac, the Steelers went after Rodgers with serious intent, despite his age and uncertainty about whether he even wants to play next season.

If Pittsburgh truly believed Rudolph could take them where they want to go, they wouldn’t be chasing a 41-year-old quarterback coming off an Achilles injury in 2023. Their interest in Rodgers speaks volumes. It suggests the organization knows it still hasn’t found a franchise quarterback and is quietly desperate to fix that. Despite their public message, the Steelers’ actions show a team that is still searching for answers—and not being honest about it.
