"I've always kind of been a Ryan Tannehill defender. I think he's a little bit better than people realize," Simms said. "That'd be a place where I certainly would fit the mold of exactly what you're saying. We got Pickett here, he's the starter, but a guy like Ryan Tannehill comes in, you're not set in stone as the starter. You're gonna have to outperform him every day and then keep your job during the regular season as well on top of that. I certainly could see them making that type of move."
Signing someone like Wilson or Cousins isn't competition because they wouldn't sign unless they were promised to be QB1. Tannehill, meanwhile, was benched for Will Levis this season and seemed to handle it well. Pittsburgh would give him an opportunity to compete for the starting job and, if not, serve as a mentor for Pickett and someone who can help him understand and learn Arthur Smith's offense. Tannehill isn't going to just roll over and take the backup jo.
