There reason for delay by the Pittsburgh Steelers in re-signing their two free agent quarterbacks reportedly has a name -- and it's Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers, 41, is a free agent after the New York Jets informed him they were going another direction after two seasons and a coaching change.
The Steelers reportedly have kept the door open for Russell Wilson or Justin Fields to return after reaching the playoffs last season. Fields was 4-2 when Wilson returned from a calf injury to take the reins for the remainder of the season. Wilson and Metcalf played together with the Seahawks.
After acquiring Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf to end a two-season pursuit of a No. 1 option in the passing game, the Steelers are now considering a new passer, ESPN and NFL Network reported Monday morning.
Rodgers passed for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2024, returning from a season-ending Achilles injury in his first game with the Jets in Sept. 2023.
The 10-time Pro Bowl selection and four-time NFL MVP has also been reported as an option for the New York Giants.
