Daniel Jones, now an Indianapolis Colt, has been predicted to be an option for the Steelers in next year’s free agency period<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Rodgers announced on The Pat McAfee Show that he plans to retire after the upcoming campaign.<\/p>\n

He had contemplated retirement before eventually signing a one-year contract with the Steelers earlier this month.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, who covers the Steelers, wrote an article about Rodgers’ retirement announcement and how it helps Mike Tomlin and company to evaluate the quarterback position in 2026.<\/p>\n

Pryor put together a list of four quarterbacks from next year’s 2026 NFL Draft who could be a fit for Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

She mentioned Clemson’s Cade Klubnik, LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, Penn State’s Drew Allar and South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers.<\/p>\n

Pryor added that the Steelers can trade up to pick its next franchise quarterback thanks to numerous compensatory picks from free agent departures.<\/p>\n

The NFL reporter didn’t stop there, as she tipped the possibility of Steel City signing the former first-round pick Daniel Jones in next year’s free agent period.<\/p>\n

Jones signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts and looks to be the best free agent of the 2026 class.<\/p>\n

He will be competing against Anthony Richardson for Indy’s starting job.<\/p>\n

Pryor also wrote that the former first-round pick Richardson could also be available for the Steelers, either by release or trade.<\/p>\n

Either way, the Steelers have time to plan for its next heir after Rodgers.<\/p>\n

Currently, the quarterback room consists of Rodgers, veteran backups Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson and 2025 sixth-round pick Will Howard.<\/p>\n

Rodgers will hope to bring the iconic Steelers franchise a Super Bowl for the first time since 2008.<\/p>\n

“What better place to finish it than in one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL with\u00a0Mike Tomlin\u00a0and a great group of leadership and great guys,” he said on The Pat McAfee Show.<\/p>\n

But first, the Steelers have to win a playoff game for the first time since 2017.<\/p>\n
