Steelers Lock Down Rodgers, Draft QB Allar

0:00On April 28, Pittsburgh Steelers just dropped the right-of-first refusal tinder on veteran quarterback Aaron Rogers to lock down their options. This rare move means if he doesn't sign anywhere by July 22, they get exclusive negotiating rights and can match any offer. It's their way of holding on to the 10-time pro-bola, amid talks with head coach Mike McCarthy and GM Omar Khan. But no deal yet. The tinder bumps up Rogers' value if he re-signs, giving him incentive while handing the Steelers leverage. Similar deals went to Brown Safety, Ronnie Hickman and X-Wringback Lagarit Blount. But this one's all about keeping their QB from slipping away. Rogers hit the Pat McAfee show and said he's not ready to talk future plans. McCarthy, who coached him 13 years and won a Super Bowl with him in Green Bay, is all in on a return to boost the offense, but he's prepping for. To cover bases, the Steelers grabbed Penn State QB Drew Allor in the third round of

1:01the 2026 draft. Kids at dual-threat with over 7,000 passing yards, 61 touchdowns and 700 rushing yards in college, despite a broken ankle. Last season, now with Allor joining Mason Rudolph and Will Howard, who's gunning for QB 1 reps, they beefed up the room. Rogers' back elevates them, if not, they're set to roll without missing a beat.
