Since the later stages of Ben Roethlisberger\u2019s career, the team has struggled to find reliable, high-level production at the position. Finding a true successor has proven elusive, and this offseason doesn\u2019t appear poised to change that.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ybmedia\/image\/upload\/c_crop,e_improve,h_513,w_912,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,f_auto,h_1215,q_auto,w_2160\/v1\/m\/0\/2\/02d750c28b56147c9d77f1e732e484dfbba58c8f\/01kmn7p9t4mwsn0rvf1a.jpg\" alt=\"James Harrison Trying to Help Steelers Land Joe Burrow | Yardbarker\" \/>However, Steelers legend James Harrison has a bold \u2014 some might say outrageous \u2014 solution: the Steelers should offer a massive haul of draft picks to pry Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow away from their AFC North rivals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey Steelers, three first-round picks for anybody, they\u2019re gone,\u201d Harrison declared on his Deebo and Joe podcast. \u201cThey can\u2019t turn that down\u2026 I\u2019ll give you three firsts, a second, and a third\u2026 I\u2019ve got the team, all I need is the quarterback.

Harrison\u2019s proposed package of three first-round picks, a second-rounder, and a third-rounder would be extremely difficult for any team to reject on paper. Yet replacing a quarterback of Burrow\u2019s elite caliber is even tougher.<\/p>\n<p>A deal of this scale is rare in the NFL. Few teams have ever surrendered three first-round picks for an established veteran. The closest parallel is the Cleveland Browns\u2019 ill-fated trade for Deshaun Watson, which sent Houston three first-rounders along with additional picks. That move has backfired spectacularly for Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p>Burrow, who has thrown for over 20,810 career passing yards and 157 touchdowns in just 77 games, brings a different profile. Though he has battled injuries \u2014 including missing significant time in recent seasons \u2014 he has shown the ability to elevate any offense when healthy. Pairing him with Pittsburgh\u2019s strong roster and defense would likely turn the Steelers into immediate Super Bowl contenders, masking many of their current weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>The Bengals, however, know this all too well. They would be loath to watch their star quarterback transform their biggest rival into a powerhouse. Burrow would make the Steelers a nightmare matchup in the AFC North, forcing Cincinnati to go through Pittsburgh just to reach the playoffs or beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Even with such a massive offer of draft capital, the Bengals would almost certainly refuse. If they ever did decide to move on from Burrow, plenty of other suitors outside the division would line up with competitive packages \u2014 likely without the added sting of handing a weapon to a direct rival.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, the only place Steelers fans are likely to see Joe Burrow wearing black and gold anytime soon is in a video game simulation.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison\u2019s fiery pitch may be entertaining podcast fodder, but for now, it remains nothing more than a bold dream for a Super Bowl run in Pittsburgh. The price is high, the rivalry factor is higher, and the odds of it actually happening are vanishingly slim.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers have remained a consistent playoff contender in recent years, but that success has come despite shaky quarterback play.
