As the NFL Draft draws nearer, the Pittsburgh Steelers still lack a definitive plan at the quarterback position.

The assumption is Aaron Rodgers will sign with the team in the coming days (or weeks), but the veteran quarterback is playing the long game without an answer, leaving many fans to believe Pittsburgh will draft a passer in a few weeks. That begs the question: At what point is drafting a quarterback worth the risk?

Media and fans everywhere are in a frenzy, almost a panic, believing the Pittsburgh Steelers have botched their quarterback plans for the future. However, do we really know what their plans are?

Surely, there is a plan from a calculated Omar Khan, who has been aggressive in other areas. Is that plan to roll with an expensive veteran still or to bypass blowing money by operating with a bridge quarterback to get their to eventual long...

We are officially two weeks away from starting a new league year and NFL free agency as Joe and Brian discuss what the Steelers need to do on defense. Yes, offense is still a major focus - and the hosts dig into Pittsburgh GM Omar Khan's comments at the Combine in Indianapolis. However, creating more depth on the defense is also very important.

Joe and Brian table some other talk to once again bring us down to Earth when it comes to the Steelers and their offseason plans at the quarterback position.

Ideally, either Russell Wilson or Justin Fields should return to Pittsburgh in 2025. However, that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from producing other options. Names such as Aaron Rodgers, Trevor Lawrence, and even Daniel Jones have cropped up as potential suitors for Mike Tomli...
