Steelers consider pursuing C.J. Stroud as long-term QB option
Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers are contemplating a pursuit of C.J. Stroud in the offseason of 2027. This comes as current quarterback Aaron Rodgers returns for the 2026 season, which is expected to be his last. Analysts have raised concerns about the Steelers' long-term quarterback strategy despite selecting Drew Allar and Will Howard in recent drafts. With Stroud not close to an extension with the Texans, there is speculation that he could hit the open market. Analysts suggest that he could be a fitting project for Pittsburgh's future.
