That should not have been your plan. But that is at least if you miss out on [Aaron] Rodgers. Where the heck are you gonna go? At least he\u2019s a guy that started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers already have one half of the Titans\u2019 QB room from last year with Mason Rudolph back in town on a two-year deal. Should they really consider making that QB room whole again with Levis? Neither of them had success in Tennessee, but each also had very little to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Levis started 12 games last season and completed 190 of his 301 attempts for 2,091 yards, 13 TDs, and 12 INTs. He managed a record of 2-10 and was benched in favor of Rudolph after tossing three interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals. I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s a winning strategy to bring in a quarterback who could barely beat out the guy who is already on the roster. If they really wanted a veteran with starting experience, there are others out there. Carson Wentz or Joe Flacco could be options.<\/p>\n<p>What Levis would provide is some youth and the possibility to develop a little further. He looked good at times during his rookie season, and he has some decent physical tools to work with. He wasn\u2019t placed in a favorable situation to develop properly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EvCoRadio\/status\/1904846529023582650\">Cohen followed up on X<\/a> and said he thinks the Steelers should make this happen regardless of whether or not Rodgers signs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"3f9966aeabe6e3ff252cbd4c52913ca9\">\n<blockquote data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With or without Aaron Rodgers in the fold, the Steelers should trade for Will Levis.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Evan Cohen (@EvCoRadio) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EvCoRadio\/status\/1904846529023582650?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>To me, if the Steelers have Rodgers and Rudolph on the roster as their starter and backup, they can then draft a player in the middle rounds if they really want to add to the room.
