Mike Tomlin confirmed that the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for a quarterback and that, as rumored, Aaron Rodgers is one of the options. However, if that doesnāt materialize, the head coach seems comfortable with Mason Rudolphās return.
āObviously, weāre still evaluating the acquisition of a guy at that position, whether itās free agency or the draft. So, weāre doing our due diligence communicating with some free agents and also preparing for the draft. Weāre optimistic about the room that weāre constructing. Obviously, weāre excited about having Mason Rudolph back. Our knowledge of him not only as a player, but as a man. Itās exciting to have him back, but certainly weāre going to continue to explore all our options in terms of rounding that room out.ā
The Steelers havenāt won a Super Bowl in over 16 years, and Rodgers could be the missing piece to make it happen. Additionally, the veteran could serve as the ideal bridge quarterback while they find their future franchise player in the draft.
Did Steelers sign Aaron Rodgers?
No. The Steelers havenāt signed Aaron Rodgers, but during the annual ownersā meeting in Florida, Mike Tomlin expressed optimism about the information he gathered from the quarterbackās recent visit to Pittsburgh.
The big problem is that Rodgers still hasnāt made a final decision, as he could be waiting for a call from the Minnesota Vikings in the coming months. Because of this, the Steelers are in complete uncertainty and currently without a starting quarterback.
