APPittsburgh Steelers head coach is under huge pressure to succeed this season[/caption] APTomlin picked up Aaron Rodgers as a free agency in the NFL offseason[/caption]He signed a one-year, $13.6 million contract until the end of this campaign.
The 41-year-old is expected to make this his last year before announcing his retirement.
It will bring an end to a 20 season career for the legendary QB.
The Steelers have been linked with a move for Miami Dolphins star Jalen Ramsey.
However, that has been ruled out over the risk around their draft capital.
And Chris Carter of the Lockdown Steelers Podcast believes it hints at Rodgers future replacement.
He thinks head coach Tomlin will want to trade up in the 2026 NFL Draft for a quarterback.
“I don’t think (Jalen Ramsey joining the Steelers) is that likely,” he said.
“Maybe there’s something in the work.
“But there would have to be very specific things that would need to happen for Ramsey to be a Steeler.
“The Steelers probably don’t want to come off of any serious draft capital.
“They want to keep that draft, most of the bigger draft capital, so that they can trade up and get a quarterback next year.”
Rodgers is almost certain to retire after this season.
The Steelers will have to find themselves another leading quarterback next year.
