Steelers QB options: Ben Roethlisberger floats veteran name for Pittsburgh to sign if Aaron Rodgers retires

If the Pittsburgh Steelers need some help trying to get their quarterback situation figured out, they might want to give Ben Roethlisberger a call, because he seems to already have a QB plan mapped out for the team. 

During a recent interview on the Deebo & Joe podcast, the two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback went into detail about what the Steelers should do at quarterback this year. 

Plan A for the Steelers is obviously Aaron Rodgers: He led the team to an AFC North title last year, but he’s now a free agent and he hasn’t said whether he’s going to return for 2026. Although some Steelers legends — like Rod Woodson — are getting tired of playing the waiting game when it comes to Rodgers’ decision, Big Ben is the opposite. 

As a former quarterback, Roethlisberger doesn’t see a problem with Rodgers taking some time to decide as long as he makes his decision before the draft. 

“There’s a lot of factors involved with this whole thing,” Roethlisberger said. “I would think and hope that Aaron would give a decision by the draft.”

If Rodgers ends up calling it quits, that will leave the team with just two quarterbacks on the roster in Will Howard and Mason Rudolph. If that happens, the Steelers will definitely need to add another QB and Roethlisberger thinks there’s one name they should target.
