Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to seek a new quarterback for 2027, as Aaron Rodgers plans to retire after next season. Analyst Mike Florio highlighted Baker Mayfield as a perfect fit for the Steelers if he becomes available after his contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers expires. Florio noted that Mayfield's experience against the Steelers from his time with the Cleveland Browns could be beneficial. While Mayfield made two Pro Bowls in three seasons with the Buccaneers, his performance dipped last year. Pittsburgh may monitor his progress this season before pursuing him in free agency next summer.
