Steelers Continue OTAs Without Aaron Rodgers Amid QB Uncertainty

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been eagerly pursuing a contract with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers throughout the offseason, but he remains unsigned and absent from team activities, raising concerns about the team's preparation and chances to maintain their winning streak under coach Mike Tomlin. Despite optimism about Rodgers' ability to transition smoothly, the Steelers are currently relying on Mason Rudolph and other quarterbacks during voluntary OTAs, with the general manager emphasizing the intention to carry four quarterbacks into training camp. Analysts and insiders have noted that the prolonged pursuit of Rodgers, including earlier attempts to sign other quarterbacks like Matthew Stafford, may have contributed to Rodgers' hesitation, which in turn complicates the Steelers' playoff aspirations. Meanwhile, running back Jaylen Warren acknowledges the uncertainty about his expanded role following Najee Harris' departure, highlighting a committee approach that includes rookies and veterans. Additionally, veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis, a former teammate and close friend of Rodgers, expressed interest in continuing to play in 2025 but has not discussed joining the Steelers, despite speculation tied to Rodgers' potential signing. The Steelers' front office has yet to receive any firm commitment from Rodgers, leaving the team in a precarious position as they await a resolution to their quarterback situation.
