The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in need of a quarterback once again. They\u2019re waiting on Aaron Rodgers,<\/a> but there\u2019s no telling if he\u2019ll return. Unfortunately, there aren\u2019t many obvious solutions for the Steelers\u2019 issue. The free agent market is dried up, and this is a weak quarterback draft class. However, analyst Benjamin Solak floated the idea of the Steelers trading for Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill Levis\u2026\u201d Solak wrote on Twitter recently when asked<\/a> to name an under-the-radar player that could get traded during the draft. \u201cSteelers like those big-bodied traditional passers, so I\u2019m looking there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steelers like those big-bodied traditional passers so I\u2019m looking there. Panthers and Packers QB2 jobs are open too.<\/p>\n

The Titans selected Levis in the second round of the 2023 draft, and he\u2019s started 21 games for them in his first two seasons. He didn\u2019t perform great in those appearances, though. Levis is 5-16 as a starter, throwing for 3,899 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions.<\/p>\n

It likely wouldn\u2019t cost much to acquire Levis. The Titans have their starter with Cam Ward, and they added Mitch Trubisky and Hendon Hooker this offseason. Therefore, they\u2019ve got a full quarterback room, so they could part with Levis.<\/p>\n

He would be reuniting with Mason Rudolph if he<\/a> ends up in Pittsburgh, too, although that\u2019s not necessarily a good thing. The two were together with the Titans in 2024, with Levis getting benched for Rudolph near the end of the year. The two of them led the Titans to a 3-14 season, which was bad enough to earn them the first overall pick.<\/p>\n

Mike McCarthy has made it clear that he wants a quarterback who can handle the tough nature of the AFC North, and Levis has a solid frame. However, it might not make much sense for the Steelers to trade for him.<\/p>\n

They already have a veteran option with Rudolph. While Levis is younger, he\u2019s only got one year left on his deal, so he\u2019s not a long-term option. Maybe the Steelers could check in on Levis if Rodgers retires. However, if they\u2019re going to add to their quarterback room, then they\u2019re probably better off looking on Day 2 or 3 of the draft. The options aren\u2019t great,<\/a> but they could have more potential than Levis.<\/p>\n
