The Pittsburgh Steelers may be shifting gears in their quarterback search. Despite ongoing rumors linking Aaron Rodgers to the team, reports suggest the Steelers could pass on the veteran star in favor of pursuing another marquee quarterback.

With no clear starter in place, Pittsburgh may target a young quarterback with upside as insurance—and a potential future solution.

At least one NFL executive believes the Pittsburgh Steelers' "meandering" approach to filling the quarterback position might work out for the franchise in the long term. The Pittsburgh depth chart is currently led by Mason Rudolph following the free agency departures of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields and the indecision of free agent Aaron Rodgers.
