Steelers could give first-round QB the patience Colts never did

It's official: the Indianapolis Colts are out on quarterback Anthony Richardson. On Tuesday, NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported that the Colts have named Daniel Jones as their starting QB... and they have no intention of looking back. Now trade speculation surrounding Richardson is already swirling, and the Pittsburgh Steelers could be the team to respond.

The Steelers are more than content with Aaron Rodgers for the 2025 season, but the future of the position remains a mystery. Rodgers has been toying with the idea of taking his teammates' advice and returning in 2026, but that's far from guaranteed, and his likelihood of coming back for a second season in Pittsburgh will depend on his performance this year.
