The Pittsburgh Steelers may soon have clarity on their quarterback situation for the 2025 season, and a recent social media post by Pat McAfee has only fueled speculation.
McAfee, a well-known NFL personality and close friend of Aaron Rodgers, sent fans into a frenzy by reposting an old interview in which Rodgers spoke highly of the Steelers.
Pat McAfee Playing Matchmaker?
Given Aaron Rodgers' uncertain future with the New York Jets, McAfee's latest move has many wondering if Pittsburgh is a serious contender for his services.
Rodgers has yet to be officially released by the Jets, but the NFL world is already buzzing about potential landing spots.
The Steelers and New York Giants have both been mentioned as possible destinations, but McAfee's retweet suggests Pittsburgh could be at the forefront.
In the resurfaced interview, Rodgers praised Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and the team's culture, saying, "I love Pittsburgh... it's a great blue-collar tahn & Mike Tomlin is a fantastic coach who knows how to lead and players love playing for him."
These comments, coupled with Pittsburgh's need for a quarterback, make Rodgers-to-Steelers a storyline worth watching.
Pittsburgh has already made a big splash this offseason by acquiring star wide receiver DK Metcalf, leaving the quarterback position as the final piece to address.
With Justin Fields departing for the Jets and Russell Wilson still unsigned, the door is open for a veteran presence like Rodgers to step in.
Despite concerns about his age and mobility, his experience and leadership could be invaluable for a Steelers team looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 campaign.
The biggest obstacle in this scenario remains Rodgers' availability.
The Jets could delay releasing him in an attempt to force a trade, which might complicate Pittsburgh's plans.
Additionally, some critics question whether Rodgers can still thrive in a division stacked with elite rushers.
However, if the Steelers believe he can still perform at a high level, adding a four-time MVP with over 500 career touchdown es could be the move that puts them back in contention.
With no official decision from Rodgers yet, all eyes remain on his next move.
But if McAfee's latest social media activity is any indication, the possibility of seeing Rodgers in black and gold next season is very real.
