Pittsburgh Steelers Draft Choices Suggest Aaron Rodgers Could be Heading to the Acrisure Stadium for the 2025 NFL Season

May 22nd, 2025

Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers is seemingly running out of options when it comes to representing a new franchise for the 2025 NFL season. The four-time NFL MVP endured a disastrous two-year spell at the New York Jets, and despite many feeling that retirement was on the cards, the 41-year-old still believes he has something to offer and is not quite ready to call time on his glittering career.

Moves to bring Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers are hotly speculated, not least because they didn’t draft a quarterback in the first five rounds of the NFL draft. They did land Will Howard in the sixth round, but many believe that the path is set to welcome in the decorated Super Bowl winner.

Steelers fans who feel that Rodgers could help push them towards a first Super Bowl win since 2008 may want to bet on such an outcome.

Talk of a move to the Steelers for Rodgers has been relayed directly by president Art Rooney II, whose comments are a little contradictory, but nonetheless have increased speculation of a deal.

“We’re still kind of getting the same signals that we’ve been getting recently,” Rooney suggested before saying that Rodgers “does want to come here.”

However, Rooney II also said that their plans for the coming season were not predicated on whether Aaron is coming or not”.

If the Steelers don’t secure Rodgers, they apparently have an eye on a very capable alternative in the form of Kirk Cousins. The 36-year-old may be on his way out at the Atlanta Falcons, and he is very much an option that head coach Mike Tomlin is ready to pivot to.

Taylyn Hadley of the Bleacher Report believes such a move could be a likely one for Pittsburgh, stating.

"As the Pittsburgh Steelers passed on the opportunity to draft a quarterback early in the 2025 draft, they opted for Ohio State’s Will Howard in the sixth round, recognizing the need for a fallback if negotiations with veteran Aaron Rodgers fall through,"

"Meanwhile, it’s clear that Cousins wants to move on from the Falcons and would bring a similar veteran presence to what Rodgers would — without the Super Bowl ring — if he were not to sign," Hadley added.

Last season, Tomlin’s team fell at the first hurdle in the postseason, going down 14-28 to the Baltimore Ravens in the wild card playoffs after an up-and-down regular season campaign.

2025 will be Tomlin’s 19th at the helm, and though the 53-year-old has achieved a great deal during his tenure, including a Super Bowl, it’s now nine years since they won a postseason game, so his position is by no means pressure-free.
