You’ve heard the names Justin Fields, Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill and others connected to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

New odds show another name high on the list to end up in Pittsburgh.

According to Bookies.com, Jimmy Garoppolo has decent odds to be one of the QBs in the room this coming season.

Oddsmaker Adam Thompson has Garoppolo’s chances of landing in Pittsburgh at 18.2 percent.

That’s good for second, behind the Minnesota Vikings at 22.2 percent.

Garoppolo has been suspended two games for allegedly violating the NFL’s Performance Enhancing Substances Policy.

It’s also been reposted that the Las Vegas Raiders plan to release Garoppolo before he’s owed guaranteed money in March.

Speaking on his show Monday, Rich Eisen floating the possibility of Garoppolo coming to Pittsburgh to backup Kenny Pickett or Mason Rudolph (if he re-signs).

Jimmy G coming to Pittsburgh would be inline with a report from the Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac, who said the Steelers are not interested in signing a quarterback that wants to be a starter.

Garoppolo started in only six games for the Raiders last season, going 3-3 with seven touchdowns and nine interceptions.

He was benched after Head Coach Josh McDaniels was fired.

It was a rough year for Garoppolo, who signed a three-year deal worth $72.75 million in the offseason.

The 32-year-old Garoppolo has a 43-20 record in the NFL over 81 games with 15,494 total passing yards, along with 94 touchdowns and 51 interceptions.
