Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers aren't waiting around as Aaron Rodgers still hesitates about committing to the team. They’re preparing to bring in a proven veteran quarterback to stabilize the position ahead of the 2025 season.

Aaron Rodgers has been the name most commonly connected to the Steelers' open quarterback job. However, the team should have a backup plan in place.

“Listen, this entire time I haven’t felt like I owed somebody any decision at some point,” Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee Show. “I’ve been upfront with them about that. If you need to move on, call me, by all means. … There’s been no deadline. And yeah, I’ve talked to Mike (Tomlin) many times.”
