As of March 25, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers are actively seeking a new starting quarterback for the upcoming NFL season. Russell Wilson, who started 11 games for the Steelers last season, has signed a one-year contract with the New York Giants, reportedly to be their starting quarterback. This departure has left the Steelers without a clear starter at the position.
The team is reportedly pursuing veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, with reports indicating that Rodgers had a six-hour visit at the Steelers’ facility. However, former Steelers coach Bill Cowher has expressed reservations about acquiring Rodgers, citing concerns over Rodgers’ commitment to continue playing.
In the meantime, the Steelers’ roster includes quarterbacks Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson. The team is also exploring other options, including potential trades and the upcoming NFL Draft, to address their quarterback situation for the 2025 season.
