The Pittsburgh Steelers have put a lot of hope into Aaron Rodgers signing with them to be their quarterback in 2025, but a new report suggests they do have a Plan B if that pursuit fails.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported on “SportsCenter” Saturday that the Steelers would likely have interest in Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins if Rodgers does not sign with them. The Falcons would have to retain a portion of Cousins’ $37.5 million in guarantees in order to facilitate a trade.
“I had some conversations with people this week that led me to believe that Cousins is at the very least on the Steelers’ radar, if something were fall through on Rodgers,” Fowler said, via Adam Wells of Bleacher Report.
Fowler also noted that the Steelers may be Cousins’ only hope of getting out of Atlanta this offseason, as interest has cooled in him from elsewhere.
