2025 Pittsburgh Steelers

Rodgers got a lot of bad press last year because of the focus on him being in New York, however, his stats really weren't that bad and were very similar to his last year in Green Bay. I suspect he'd be at least as good as Wilson was in the second half (not that that's a high bar). As long as Tomlin doesn't let him run the show he's at least adequate. A freaking kook, but an adequate QB.

I think you mean Wilson in the first half (of his tenure as a starter). His second half games 10-17 or so were pretty underwhelming.

Found this image on Twitter / X. Too funny.

FWIW - Pickens has a rage problem and this is how it starts out. I'm sure DK would crush him though. Dude is a monster.
 
PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WKBN) – Former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman and current broadcaster Craig Wolfley has died at the age of 66.

Wolfley has served as the Steelers’ radio color analyst since 2022 after previously serving as the team’s sideline reporter. He also co-hosted a morning radio show in Pittsburgh with former Steelers’ tackle Max Starks called ‘“In the Locker Room with Wolf and Max
 
The NYJ signed Justin Fields to a 2 year, $40 mil deal with $30 mil guaranteed.

The Seahawks signed San Darnold to a 3 year $100 mil deal with $55 mil guaranteed.

Guess that leaves the Steelers with Rodgers. As long as it’s a 1 or 2 year deal for less than $50 mil total ($25 mil per year), I’d rather have Rodgers. None excited me but I’d still take a 40+ year old Roders over the other two based on the $$$. I’d think of the 3, the best chance to strike lightning out of the bottle is still Rodgers.

Sign Rodgers, sign a solid vet (Gardner Minshew) and draft the best available rookie in the 3rd or 4th (the OSU, Louisville or Missouri qb).

Saw that OT Dan Moore Jr signed with Tennessee fur 4 years, $82 mil and CB D Jackson signed with LAC for 2 years, $13 mil. For those $$$, gotta let them go.

stack a bunch of these compensatory picks and use them to move up to get a QB you like. possibly.

thought Rodgers deal would be done by now.

apparently not.

heard rumors that Carr could even be an option if Saints cut/release him.

Saints, Derek Carr alter contract, signaling QB will remain in New Orleans in 2025, per report

Carr, who will get all his $40M owed in 2025, is reportedly converting most of his salary into a signing bonus
www.cbssports.com www.cbssports.com

Florio's report says that Rodgers, 41, who wants to play for two more years, is more likely to get a second season with the Steelers than with the New York Giants, another team in need of a quarterback.

Florio suggested in his reporting that Rodgers could command a two-year deal from the Steelers worth $90 million with $40 million guaranteed.

"The Giants could still snatch him by making the kind of financial offer that isn't in the same ballpark as where the Steelers are," Florio said.

Myles will get to throw him around in two games per season now if he goes to the Stillers.

You may want to go back and reread the article you posted which is titled:

Saints, Derek Carr alter contract, signaling QB will remain in New Orleans in 2025, per report​


It states Carr & New Orleans reworked his deal to reduce the 2025 cap hit from $51.4 mil to $39.5 mil. It has zero mention of the Steelers yet you theorize Garrett “will throw him around in two games per season now if he goes to” Pittsburgh.

Sorry, meant Rodgers
 
i'd be fine with that considering if we don't shore up our OLine Rodgers will last as long as he did with the Jets two seasons ago
 
Rodgers is a weird dude - doesn't surprise me that he's taking some time to figure this out. I'd say get him and now Kupp going to be released - go sign him as well. I'd take an offense where Rodgers throws to GP, DK, and CK. let's go.

He was bad last year and had 28 YDs and 11 Ints. I'd take that with the WR's we hav so far.

At this point I’m thinking the Steelers will be going back to Russell Wilson.

Everyone seems to hate Russ and mad about Fields going to the Jets. But Russ moved the offense until Pickens went down. Pickens was goofy after he came back. Russ really had no one, of NFL calibuer, who could get any separation, to throw to. Not to mention the teams they had to play at the end. My point is if you give Russ some 'players' he will get it downfield. If we had Pickens, Metcalfe, Kupp and Wilson. I would be okay rolling with that.

The Steelers signing of rb Kenneth Gainwell (5’9”, 200 lbs) I believe is just a depth piece behind Warren. In 4 years Gainwell has never had more than 74 carries, 364 yards, 33 receptions, 253 yards rec.

Here is the stats of two starting NFL qbs last season:

A) 368-584, 63.0%, 3897 yards, 6.7 yards per attempt, 28 td, 11 int, 40 sacks for 302 yards lost, 22 rush, 107 rush yards, 0 rush td’s, 17 games started

B) 382-581, 67.5%, 3928 yards, 6.8 yards per attempt, 26 td, 11 int, 36 sacks for 239 yards lost, 58 rush, 307 rush yards, 2 rush td’s, 16 games started

Pretty similar stats, nothing really stands out between the two. A is Aaron Rodgers, B is Patrick Mahomes. Obviously Mahomes is far better than Rodgers at this point in their careers and the win/loss was quite different between the two. However, Rodgers can still sling it. Besides being 42, Rodgers doesn’t provide the rushing threat or Tush Push element.

I just do not want the Steelers to over extend themselves financially for Rodgers or Wilson, neither are the long term answer. Take a flyer on a rookie qb in the 3rd or 4th round or maybe trade for NE Joe Milton. If they do not strike lightning in a bottle they will be drafting a QB in 2026 which is projected to be a much stronger qb draft class.

I love the cap situation for Pittsburgh this year and the next two. The draft picks & compensatory picks for 2026 look to be good. The last two draft classes have been good. Kahn is doing the right things, he made two good inseason trades last year so he’s trying to win now but I believe is doing a good job of setting up long term continued success. Just have to get lucky on finding a quality QB.
