It's April 20th. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The Pittsburgh Steelers are pushing ahead with their 2026 NFL draft plans, even as they wait on a final word from 42-year-old Aaron Rogers. General manager Omar Khan made it clear they're not letting the hold of mess with their scouting. They keep ranking prospects the same way, no matter what Rogers decides. Meanwhile, head coach Mike McCarthy says the team has room to develop another quarterback alongside their 2025 sixth round pick, Will. Howard, he stresses quarterback as the top spot in football and wants to build depth if the right fit comes along. Fans in the front office feel the drag from last year's weight when Rogers didn't sign until June. That uncertainty lingers, putting the Steelers in a tough spot again, but they're handling it like pros without panicking. Let's say there's zero expectation of Rogers committing before draft day, so Pittsburgh

stays flexible. They won't reach for a signal collar, just to fill a gap, sticking to their board. In the end, the third round looks like where they might eye a quarterback, Rogers or not, that steady approach keeps them locked in for the long game.
