Rodgers has been linked to the Steelers since March, but he has yet to sign and has even entertained the possibility of retirement.
The Steelers have also failed to land a credible alternative to Rodgers so far. Mason Rudolph currently sits atop their depth chart, and the only quarterback they took in the draft was Will Howard in the sixth round.
Cousins has been rendered disposable on the Falcons. After a promising 4-2 start, he became untenable as a starter late in the 2024 season. The 36-year-old veteran threw a league-high 16 interceptions and fumbled an NFL-high 13 times over his 14 starts, leaving the Falcons no choice but to bench him for 2024 first-round pick Michael Penix.
