The Pittsburgh Steelers are continuing their search for a new quarterback to lead the team, with the recent signing of Will Howard, their sixth-round pick from the draft. He signed a four-year contract and is positioned behind Mason Rudolph in the depth chart for QB1. Meanwhile, speculation about Aaron Rodgers' potential deal with the Steelers lingers, as insider Peter Schrager reported that Rodgers has not confirmed any agreement, despite the Steelers' willingness to wait on him. The team seems to be navigating the uncertainty surrounding Rodgers while preparing Howard for possible action this season.

Howard's development and understanding of the playbook could become crucial if the team does not secure Rodgers. The Steelers' strategy appears to involve patience, allowing Howard to potentially earn starting opportunities if Rodgers opts not to come to Pittsburgh. This scenario leaves room for intriguing developments in both the Steelers' quarterback race and Howard's future.
