If the Steelers decide to go down the veteran quarterback route once again and replace Wilson and Fields, The Wrightway Sports Network's Daniel Alameda predicts the team will sign New York Jets signal-caller Aaron Rodgers if he's released and hits free agency.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are the NFL’s biggest enigma, with consistently great regular seasons, but no playoff wins in the past 9 seasons. Mike Tomlin and staff has been accustomed to mediocre quarterback play since the loss of Ben Roethlisberger, but they MUST make a change heading into the 2025 season.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Dec.1 that Rodgers likely won't return to New York next season, and not much has changed since. The future Hall of Famer could retire this offseason, but if Rodgers decides to play in 2025, the Steelers should look to target the 40-year-old.Rodgers has many different options to choose from, but the stability of Pittsburgh with a consistent Mike Tomlin, elite defense with TJ Watt, and they must make a star wide receiver addition in the 2025 offseason to bring stability that Rodgers has long looked for.
The Jets had an underwhelming 2024 season, as New York posted a 5-12 record and failed to live up to playoff expectations. The organization is set to undergo massive change, and Rodgers likely won't be along for the ride.
During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Dec.23, Rodgers subtly suggested that the Jets could release him this offseason.
If this happens, the veteran will be available to sign on the open market. Pittsburgh will have around $52 million in cap space this offseason, per Over the Cap, so general manager Omar Khan should have enough money to sign Rodgers and add other pieces to the roster.
Though the four-time league MVP isn't the same player he once was, Rodgers is still an upgrade over Wilson and Fields and quietly had a solid statistical season. The former first-round pick completed 63% of his passes and tossed 28 touchdowns to just 11 interceptions.
The Steelers should look to get younger at quarterback, but if the franchise wants to bring in a veteran signal-caller this offseason, Rodgers would be an intriguing option if he's released by the Jets.
