One day after trading for a star wide receiver, the Pittsburgh Steelers may be closing in on a big-name quarterback as well.
As the Steelers continue talks with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields entering this week's free agency period, Aaron Rodgers also has emerged as a quarterback option for Pittsburgh, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Rodgers and the Steelers are expected to talk, sources told Schefter, and explore a union between the four-time MVP and longtime coach Mike Tomlin.
Rodgers, 41, is set to be a free agent after the New York Jets announced last month that they would be moving on from the 10-time Pro Bowler after two disappointing seasons.
