Overview
- Aaron Rodgers has not signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers despite visiting the team in March and maintaining regular contact with head coach Mike Tomlin.
- NFL insider Peter Schrager dismissed speculation of a handshake deal between Rodgers and the Steelers, stating there is no evidence of an agreement in place.
- The Steelers are reportedly considering a trade for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins if Rodgers does not sign, though Cousins' no-trade clause could complicate negotiations.
- Cousins is believed to only accept a trade to a team willing to name him the immediate starter, adding another layer of complexity to Pittsburgh's quarterback search.
- With OTAs approaching on May 27, the Steelers face mounting pressure to resolve their quarterback situation, currently relying on backups Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson, and rookie Will Howard.
