Are the Steelers trapped waiting for Aaron Rodgers to decide his future?

The NFL Scouting Combine is quarterback chaos season — and Scoop City breaks down the biggest dominoes in Pittsburgh, New York, and Cincinnati. Will the Steelers get a faster answer from Aaron Rodgers this time? Do the Jets truly have a quarterback plan, or are they waiting for 2027? And is this finally the “now or never” year for Joe Burrow and the Bengals?

We start in Pittsburgh with Mike DeFabo unpacking Omar Khan’s comments on Aaron Rodgers and why the Steelers believe this timeline won’t drag like last offseason. Is Mike McCarthy’s arrival about developing the next franchise quarterback or quietly aligning with Rodgers? The guys also hit Pittsburgh’s biggest roster needs — a true WR2 behind DK Metcalf, cornerback help, and how Jalen Ramsey could fit into a modern “big nickel” role.

Next, Zach Rosenblatt joins to dissect the Jets’ quarterback mystery and Aaron Glenn’s “superpower” moment at the podium. Is this a bridge year with eyes on the 2027 draft class, or does New York swing for a stopgap like Kyler Murray or Mac Jones? They also debate Breece Hall’s future, the franchise tag value, and whether the Jets can afford to lose one of their few proven offensive weapons.

Then Paul Dehner Jr. steps in to break down the Bengals’ defensive overhaul and the pressure mounting in Cincinnati. With Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins locked in, can Duke Tobin finally fix the defense with pass-rush help and veteran “force multipliers”? They also explore the No. 10 pick — including the possibility of Caleb Downs — and why this season feels like a defining crossroads for Zac Taylor.
