Overview
- Flacco said on a recent BMore podcast he would consider Pittsburgh if there is a real opportunity and added he has not felt ready to retire.
- He enters free agency after splitting 2025 between the Browns and Bengals, finishing with 2,479 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
- Joining Pittsburgh would complete his run with every AFC North team after previous stops with the Ravens, Browns and Bengals.
- Coverage notes the Steelers’ interest would likely hinge on Aaron Rodgers’ uncertain future, with Mason Rudolph and Will Howard among current in-house options.
- Reactions are mixed: Bill Cowher publicly urged Pittsburgh to sign Flacco, while Bleacher Report called the Steelers his worst landing spot, even as his 342-yard, 3-TD win over Pittsburgh in Week 7 underscored his remaining upside.
