Steelers still waiting for QB Aaron Rodgers + Texans make Will Anderson Jr. highest paid non-QB in NFL history (4/20 Hour 2)

This Monday edition of PFT Live dives into several major NFL storylines ahead of the 2026 draft. The show opens with a humorous take on a fan who parachuted into a stadium and landed on the scoreboard, using it as a metaphor for the Steelers' ongoing quarterback uncertainty. The central focus is on the Steelers' stalled pursuit of Aaron Rodgers, who has yet to communicate any decision about playing in 2026, despite months of speculation. Host Mike Florio expresses disbelief that the Steelers would again put themselves in a precarious quarterback situation, questioning the logic of bending over for a player who may no longer be elite. The discussion shifts to the Texans' strategic contract extension of Will Anderson Jr., now the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, praised for his elite pass-rushing ability and leadership. The contrast with C.J. Stroud’s lack of a long-term deal highlights Houston’s disciplined approach to player valuation. The episode also covers the ongoing Mike Vrabel-Diana Russini scandal, with new reports suggesting the Patriots attempted to suppress the story through crisis PR tactics. Finally, the show analyzes the potential trade of A.J. Brown from the Eagles to the Patriots after June 1, exploring draft pick implications and the possibility of a 'draft-and-trade' scenario that could create PR complications. The segment ends with a cautionary note on Zachariah Branch’s arrest, emphasizing the need for players to avoid trouble during the draft window.
