Unpacking Every Steelers Quarterback Option for 2026

The Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2026 offseason with one defining question: who will be the starting quarterback next season?

In this episode, Joe and Brian take a deep dive into every path the Steelers could take, from an Aaron Rodgers return to the possibility of handing the offense to Will Howard after a year of development.

We explore the veteran quarterbacks who could become available due to contract situations and cap decisions, including Kirk Cousins, Kyler Murray, Tua Tagovailoa, and Derek Carr, and how each one would fit in Pittsburgh. We also examine the free‑agent market, potential bridge options, and the top quarterback prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft who align with the Steelers’ long‑term vision.

If you want a complete, informed, and forward‑looking breakdown of the Steelers’ quarterback plan for 2026, this episode covers every angle.
