The ' quarterback situation is a fascinating watch, with the franchise seemingly just waiting for Aaron Rodgers to make Jacob Macdonald Jersey his decision. Given that the draft is fast approaching, it isn't a good plan to sit on your hands and wait, because what will the franchise do if Rodgers chooses to retire? They have Will Howard and Mason Rudolph as options. Neither are great ones, but at least Howard is young and could develop into something. But for CBS Sports' John Breech, he thinks everything is lining up for Rodgers to return to the Steel City. "With Rodgers, it seems like there's only two options this offseason: Either he re-signs with the Steelers or he retires, . The Steelers went through free agency like a team that plans on having Rodgers back for one more year. "New coach Mike McCarthy is taking over a team that just won the AFC North, and right now, all he needs is a starting quarterback. Rodgers is a fan of McCarthy, the Steelers have a pretty solid roster, so basically, the stage is now set for a Rodgers return. He just has to announce that he's actually going to return." More: Should Steelers wait for Rodgers? Well, that appears to be the plan. Rodgers does give the Steelers the best chance to win in 2026, but he does nothing for the future of the position. Howard is an interesting option, but I'm not sure if the Steelers want to take their licks in 2026 and have a 4-13 season if it goes south. But they have to see what they have in Howard at some point, right? All signs point to Rodgers returning, but if we are being honest, it won't move the needle that much. The Steelers will win their eight or nine games, scrape into the postseason, and be one-and-done. Is that what fans want? More NFL news: Kevin Mandolese Jersey
