Questions remain for Aaron Rodgers as latest Pittsburgh Steelers move leaves glaring hole to raise quarterback fears
The Pittsburgh Steelers have confirmed the signing of a new offensive weapon for 2025 — but it’s not Aaron Rodgers. Much of the conversation throughout the offseason has been dominated by quarterback Rodgers, who has long been expected to land in the Steel City after leaving the New York Jets. Rodgers is expected to sign with the Steelers for the 2025 NFL seasonGetty But the NFL veteran has not yet confirmed his next move, and as the waiting game continues, the Steelers have signed three other players to their roster. Among those who arrived on Monday is running back Trey Sermon, who took part in Pittsburgh’s rookie minicamp on a tryout last week. Fellow running back Max Hurleman and offensive tackle Garreth Warren have also signed. Sermon, 26, entered the league as a third-round pick for the San Francisco 49ers in 2021. He spent one season with the team, before stints with the Philadelphia Eagles and Indianapolis Colts. Sermon has 134 carries for 505 yards and three touchdowns in 42 games over four seasons, and now joins a Steelers running back room that also includes the likes of rookie Kaleb Johnson, Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell. While Pittsburgh have solid depth in the backfield, they still need to fill a hole at wide reciever. George Pickens, who led the group by a considerable margin in targets, catches and receiving yards in 2024, has departed for the Dallas Cowboys. NFL legend Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson scolded the Steelers for that trade last week. DK Metcalf has arrived from the Seattle Seahawks on a five-year, $150 million contract, but behind him will be the likes of Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Robert Woods, who all may struggle as a legitimate No. 2 option. Pickens has left the Steelers, but the team remain high on AustinGetty Rodgers, though, might be hoping to see more weapons arrive this summerGetty While Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer has reported the Steelers are high on Austin, many fans — and perhaps Rodgers himself — will be hoping to see another wideout arrive before the 2025 season begins. After all, if next year is to be the last for 41-year-old Rodgers, he would surely want to go out on a high, and will need weapons to throw to. Breer has also reported that Pittsburgh could look to bring in a WR from another of the veteran’s former teams, the Green Bay Packers. “If the Steelers want more after seeing those guys in OTAs, there is an interesting dynamic unfolding in Green Bay,” he wrote. “The Packers drafted Matthew Golden in the first round and Savion Williams in the third. “Both of those guys are going to make the team.
