WATCH: Are Steelers, Aaron Rodgers an inevitable match after Russell Wilson signs with Giants?

 
On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to Russell Wilson signing with the New York Giants in NFL free agency.

Does the move make an eventual marriage between the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers inevitable, with one less possible destination available to him? How will Wilson perform in New York after mixed results this past season with the Steelers? How seriously might GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin be about Mason Rudolph as a potential starting option if a deal with Rodgers doesn't work out?

Our duo tackles those questions and more. Including: How does Wilson's move further solidify Khan's plans regarding compensatory NFL draft picks for 2026? Could the Steelers use that capital to reload their roster? Or potentially chase a top-level quarterback like Arch Manning via a trade? And how closely are Khan and Co. watching Ohio State prospects including Emeka Egbuka, TreVeyon Henderson, Quinshon Judkins and Will Howard after attending the Buckeyes' pro day this week?
