Steelers’ QB Race: Who Will Start for Pittsburgh in Week 1 of 2025?

The Justin Fields experiment worked pretty well in Pittsburgh, but that was scrapped when Russell Wilson was ready to return.

The Russell Wilson experiment worked very well for the first seven games he started, and then it went down the toilet rather quickly.

So, who will be the Steelers’ starting quarterback in Week 1 of the 2025 regular season?

BetOnline.ag has set odds for 23 candidates to be under center in the Steel City next season.

Minnesota’s Sam Darnold is the favorite, but the Vikings’ rookie QB (JJ McCarthy) is also on the list.

Could Omar Khan bring in another aging veteran? Aaron Rodgers is among the favorites at 4/1 while Kirk Cousins is there at 9/1.

Soon-to-be rookies in Jalen Milroe and Quinn Ewers both have better than 10/1 odds.
