The Pittsburgh Steelers have entered into a risky decision in regards to pursuing Aaron Rodgers. Aside from the obvious risks of pursuing a 41-year-old quarterback who won’t come cheap, the Steelers also face the challenge of managing one of the most polarizing figures in sports if Rodgers decides to play in Pittsburgh for the 2025 season.

In a bold move to secure the future of the franchise, Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly identified a rising star quarterback poised to challenge Aaron Rodgers if the veteran signs with the team.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers' drawn-out free agency decision reportedly may be due to his desire to sign with a specific team. Speaking Friday on her Scoop City podcast, Dianna Russini of The Athletic said those she has spoken to believe Rodgers' preference is to sign with the Minnesota Vikings.
