Steelers Wait on Rodgers Amid QB Uncertainty

The Steelers are doing exactly what they said they wouldn't do - waiting on Rodgers while the free-agent quarterback market moves on. Malik Willis signed with the Dolphins, Geno Smith was traded to the Jets, and Kirk Cousins joined the Raiders, leaving Pittsburgh with no backup plan as they hope Rodgers returns.

General Manager Omar Khan had indicated the team wouldn't let Rodgers' decision drag on like it did last year when he signed in June. With Rodgers potentially nearing a 43rd birthday and entering a natural decline phase, the Steelers risk another season where they're barely good enough for the playoffs before an early exit.
