The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback situation is up in the air again, and former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher believes Aaron Rodgers is a legitimate candidate to be the team’s starter in 2025. Cowher sees the team at least having a dialogue with Rodgers to see what that could look like with the team.

But this would be a huge, expensive mistake. Rodgers is 42 years old and based on last season, his best football is well behind him. If the Steelers want to throw away the 2025 season and start a full rebuild, they can do it much cheaper than paying Rodgers to do it.
