Will Howard

Rodgers continues to delay any decision on the matter, but the Steelers remain confident that he will eventually sign with them. Rodgers, 41, has had a long-standing offer on the table from the Steelers for most of the offseason, but the future Hall of Famer continues to mull over whether he should continue his playing career or hang it up. Rodgers threw for 3,897-28-11 last season with the Jets and continued to show signs of a player who has regressed since his 2021 MVP season. That said, he's far and away the best candidate to lead the Steelers, whose quarterback room currently features Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson, and rookie Will Howard. Rodgers doesn't need to play like an MVP to help the Steelers, who won 10 games last season, but he is their best hope at making the playoffs for a third-straight season.

ESPN's Peter Schrager revealed that Falcons QB Kirk Cousins could be the fallback option for the Steelers if Aaron Rodgers does not sign with the team. Their current depth chart consists of Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson, and rookie Will Howard, placing it among the worst in the NFL.
