Insider: Will Howard will not be top backup for Steelers — regardless of Aaron Rodgers

The Will Howard hype train will need to slow down just a tad — at least according to insider Gerry Dulac, who argued that the Steelers aren't likely to make him the top backup QB in 2025.

In Wednesday's Steelers chat on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Dulac was asked if Howard could become QB2 if Aaron Rodgers didn’t sign with the Steelers — and this was his response:

"Probably not. If Rodgers doesn’t sign, which they don’t expect to happen, the Steelers will likely sign another veteran QB to back up Rudolph. I don’t think their plan is to have a sixth-round pick be the top backup.
