Steelers' Omar Khan Suggests Aaron Rodgers Return? | Why Biggest Project is Keeping 2023 Draft Class

About this episode
Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't decided who their quarterback will be in 2026 yet, but general manager Omar Khan sure made it seem like it would be Aaron Rodgers Tuesday at the NFL Combine. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders review what exactly Khan said, and why so many hints point towards Rodgers' return to the Steelers for another season. But is that the right choice with free agents like Malik Willis and trade options like Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray available? Also, Chris and Alan discuss how Khan gave glowing reviews of Patrick Queen and Jalen Ramsey. But does that mean the Steelers plan to keep both of them or cut them to save salary cap space? The Steelers' 2023 NFL Draft class brought key pieces to the roster like Broderick Jones, Joey Porter Jr., Keeanu Benton, Darnell Washington and Nick Herbig. But can the Steelers afford to re-sign all of them? Chris and Alan think it could be possible, and Khan's comments Tuesday also suggest it's a real, achievable plan for the Steelers before the 2026 season begins.
