The Pittsburgh Steelers were fortunate to have two capable quarterbacks, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, leading their offense in the 2024 NFL season. While both had their moments, neither truly solidified themselves as the long-term answer in the Steel City. As the 2025 season approaches, both quarterbacks have expressed a clear interest in returning, but only one is expected to be back.
As Pittsburgh weighs its quarterback situation, two veteran names have started to gain traction in rumors—Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford. The possibility of either landing in Pittsburgh has sparked heavy debate among fans and analysts. However, NFL insider Albert Breer added fuel to the speculation in his latest Sports Illustrated article posted on Monday morning, revealing that the Steelers are widely viewed as a highly attractive destination for veteran quarterbacks.
Both Stafford and Rodgers present interesting possibilities. Stafford, despite being 37, is still widely regarded as an elite quarterback, but prying him away from the Los Angeles Rams wouldn’t be easy.

Steelers Possibly Bringing In Aaron Rodgers Hasn’t Made Fans Happy
Rodgers, on the other hand, has not been an appealing option for most Steelers fans. In fact, the reaction to any rumors linking him to Pittsburgh has been largely negative. At 41 years old and coming off an unusual season with the New York Jets, there are serious doubts about whether he would be the right fit for the Steelers’ future.
