Look who's back: Aaron Rodgers signs a one-year deal with the Steelers worth up to $25 million
Age 42 season. Backup QBs: Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar (drafted in the third round this year).
PITTSBURGH -- Aaron Rodgers' official return, marked by the quarterback expected to sign a one-year deal worth up to $25 million on Saturday, answers one question for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It also creates several others.
Who's the odd man out in a four-person QB room? Does there have to be one? Do the Steelers prioritize a veteran with higher floors or youngsters with higher, yet unknown, ceilings? How will they juggle practice reps between a veteran re-learning an offensive system and inexperienced signal-callers who are still in development?
The next couple of months will answer the bulk of those questions as the Steelers progress through their offseason training, to July's training camp in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and ultimately to the August roster reduction from 90 players to 53 -- plus up to 17 on the practice squad.
The work to solve the Steelers' backup quarterback conundrum begins now.
