Steelers Seek Quarterback Successor as Rodgers Hints at Retirement
15 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Steelers lack long-term QB solution with Rodgers likely leaving after 2026
- South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers a potential 1st-round pick for Steelers
- Sellers needs development, could sit behind Rodgers for a year
As of November 15, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a quarterback conundrum. Their current starter, Aaron Rodgers, is likely to retire after the 2026 season, leaving the team without a long-term solution at the position.
Behind Rodgers, the Steelers have Mason Rudolph, a capable backup, and Will Howard, a sixth-round pick whose future is still uncertain. With Rodgers' potential departure looming, the Steelers are expected to target a quarterback in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft.
One player the Steelers have their eye on is South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers. Sellers, a 6-foot-3, 204-pound passer, possesses elite athleticism and arm strength, making him a threat in any situation. However, he still needs development, especially in accuracy and handling pressure.
