Overview

• Aaron Rodgers remains unsigned as of June 3, leaving the Steelers without a confirmed Week 1 starter for the 2025 season.
• GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin view the start of training camp in late July as a practical deadline to pursue alternative quarterback options.
• Rodgers’s offseason focus on personal matters has prolonged the stalemate that began when he first entered free agency in March.
• Pittsburgh will rely on its June 10–12 mandatory minicamp to gauge the readiness of Mason Rudolph, rookie Will Howard and third-string QB Skylar Thompson.
• Veteran Kirk Cousins has emerged as a contingency target, though Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger has voiced doubts about trading for him.
