One of the biggest questions surrounding the Steelers this offseason is who will be the starting quarterback next season. Whoever takes on that role will need better protection from the offensive line, and there may be a few new offensive linemen heading to Pittsburgh.
Pro Football Focus analyst Mason Cameron believes that the Steelers could be the ideal destination for Green Bay Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker this offseason.

“That ability would fit well with the Steelers, particularly if Aaron Rodgers decides to return to the Steel City with Mike McCarthy named as the new head coach,” Cameron wrote on Thursday. “In 2025, Rodgers posted the fourth-fastest average time to throw (2.59) among quarterbacks with at least 200 dropbacks.
“While there is still time for former first-round pick Broderick Jones to develop at just 25 years old, his struggles at both left and right tackle create the need for Pittsburgh to evaluate possible upgrades. The Steelers can afford to splurge on protection with the top free-agent tackle, currently projected to hold the ninth-most cap space ($44.94 million) this offseason. The addition of Walker would provide an immediate plug-and-play starter at left tackle.”
Walker has played for the Packers for the last four seasons, participating in all 17 games over the past three years. While there’s a good chance that Green Bay will try to bring Walker back, if it doesn’t, the Steelers should certainly consider signing him.
