The Pittsburgh Steelers are still searching for their true successor to Ben Roethlisberger at the quarterback position. Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season, and as of this writing, they don’t even know who will start in 2025. They hope it’s Aaron Rodgers, but they started the offseason trying to re-sign Justin Fields.
Roethlisberger knows none of these, however, are the Steelers’ ideal solution. While they tried the draft with Kenny Pickett in 2022, they entered that season with Mitch Trubisky starting. Pickett opened the 2023 season, but last year, they had Russell Wilson, and now—they hope—Rodgers. Where does this all lead?
