Former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Zach Banner is eyeing an NFL comeback. Banner, 31, has not played in the NFL since 2021 with the Steelers but has been hosted by numerous teams for workouts.

Overview: The Steelers rode a 10-3 start to another playoff berth under head coach Mike Tomlin despite lingering questions at quarterback. An 0-5 finish, including a wild-card loss to the rival Ravens, was a truer embodiment of this Steelers team that ultimately couldn't compete with the league's best with Russell Wilson under center.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been about average for most of Mike Tomlin's tenure with the organization, especially on the offensive side of the football. One thing that has stayed constant during Tomlin's time in charge is that the quarterback position has been a massive area of need since Ben Roethlisberger started to decline and eventually retired from the NFL.

Ending the season on a 5-game losing streak by losing a sixth consecutive playoff game is naturally going to bring about some extremely difficult questions that the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to have to answer this offseason.

NFL insider Benjamin Allbright does not believe the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback in 2025 is currently on the roster. Allbright expressed the opinion after a report came out that the Steelers have asked about trading for Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
