The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves at a crucial juncture as they contemplate their quarterback situation for the upcoming offseason. With Russell Wilson and Justin Fields set to be free agents, both have shown flashes of potential with the Steelers in 2024. Yet, whispers of alternative directions loom. Could the Steelers also entertain the idea of pursuing Sam Darnold? Or perhaps even the legendary Aaron Rodgers? Recent reports suggest the New York Jets are likely to part ways with the 41-year-old MVP. Steelers safety DeShon Elliott, however, has expressed his disapproval on social media, humorously urging the team to let Rodgers retire gracefully.

Despite a tumultuous 2024 season marred by injuries and inconsistency, Rodgers still managed to reach a milestone of 500 career touchdown passes and rank among the top performers for his age. As the market for quarterbacks heats up, the Steelers will need to weigh their options carefully, considering both the veteran experience and the potential upside of younger talents on the roster.
