It's March 25th. This is NFL News today, AI-powered stories shaping the season. The Pittsburgh Steelers are still holding out hope for Aaron Rogers to join them as quarterback, but their roster moves show they lack a solid backup. Plan if the 42-year-old decides to retire. With top alternative signing elsewhere, they're left for lying on rookie Will Howard and veteran Mason Rudolph. Former Steelers quarterback Ben Rothisberger recently weighed in with a practical idea. He suggested bringing back Josh Dobbs, a former fourth-round pick who just got released by the New England Patriots and is now a free agent. Dobbs brings smarts and leadership to the table. Traits the Steelers always appreciated during his time with the team. The 31-year-old has bounced around the league, playing for squads like the Titans, Cardinals, Vikings, and 49ers were his mobility, and quick learning standout. Rothisberger also praised Howard as a proven college winner, worth developing, and sees
Dobbs as competition and depth alongside him and Rudolph. That setup would give the team real options heading into next season. For now, Pittsburgh keeps waiting on Rogers while Dobbs remains available as a sensible bridge if things fall through.
