The potential arrival of Aaron Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers remains one of the most talked-about topics in the NFL. Although his signing has yet to be finalized, several signs suggest the veteran quarterback could join Mike Tomlin’s team before the start of the 2025 season.

However, despite what appears to be an imminent move, Rodgers’ decision continues to be delayed. In the meantime, the Steelers have shown a willingness to wait until the regular season kicks off on September 7. At this point, he seems to be the only real option to take over as the starting quarterback.

While waiting on Rodgers, the black and gold continue to make moves to strengthen the depth of their roster. In recent hours, the Steelers have confirmed the addition of a potential key weapon for the quarterback room — one that could include Rodgers.
