Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin said the organization had a “really good day” with free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers during his visit on March 21st, per Brooke Pryor.
Aaron Rodgers is the center of attention once again this offseason as fans eagerly await the decision of where the 41-year-old will sign. Multiple rumors throughout the offseason have hinted at Rodgers landing in Pittsburgh even before his official visit, and there seems to be some truth behind it. Other quarterback-needy teams, such as the Raiders, Giants, and Seahawks, have already addressed this position. Rodgers’s options have seemingly thinned out to the point where the Steelers are the only reasonable landing spot left.
The only quarterbacks currently on the Steelers roster are Skylar Thompson and Mason Rudolph, who is returning to the Steel City after spending a season with the Tennessee Titans. General Manager Omar Khan told reporters at the NFL’s 2025 league meeting that the Steelers will go into training camp with four quarterbacks on their roster, as they usually do. This implies that Rodgers might not be the only quarterback the Steelers look to add in April. The team has reportedly expressed interest in multiple quarterback prospects, including Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe.
While Coach Tomlin added that there isn’t a deadline for Rodgers’s decision, he reportedly had a throwing session with Steelers newly acquired wide receiver DK Metcalf over the weekend. All eyes and ears remain tuned to where the future Hall of Fame quarterback will decide to spend the final years of his career, with all signs currently pointing to Southwest Pennsylvania. Rodgers came back from a ruptured Achilles and totaled over 4,000 total yards and 28 passing touchdowns last season.

The Steelers signed former Dolphins backup quarterback Skylar Thompson, per Thompson’s agency Sports Trust Advisors.
At 27 years old, Thompson has started just three NFL games and is most well-known for serving as Tua Tagovailoa’s backup in recent years. Thompson’s NFL stats consist of 81 completions for 721 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions throughout his career. He’s likely to be a backup option or join the Steelers’ practice squad once the 2025 NFL regular season starts.
This is primarily newsworthy because Thompson is currently the only Steelers quarterback under contract for next season. Russell Wilson’s contract with the Steelers was a one-year deal worth the veteran minimum, while Justin Fields has reached the end of his rookie contract. With Wilson and Fields each churning out inconsistent performances this season, it’s anyone’s guess as to what happens next in Pittsburgh’s quarterback room. However, the signing of Thompson and the likelihood that either Wilson or Fields seek a change of scenery in free agency implies that the Steelers will only re-sign one of them at most. Until a deal is made with either quarterback or the Steelers elect to acquire another somehow, Thompson remains the lone quarterback on the roster.
