Everyone has an opinion on what the Aaron Rodgers-led Steelers are capable of — but the legendary James Harrison might’ve just dropped the boldest prediction yet.

On a recent episode of the Nightcap podcast, Harrison argued that Rodgers could be released — under one condition: Pittsburgh starts losing.

“If [the Steelers] start losing and it’s looking like they ain’t gonna make above .500, I think it gets real ugly, real fast,” Harrison said. “To the point where they may just be like, ‘You know what, let’s let this dude go midseason. For Aaron, let’s just get him outta here and put one of these other quarterbacks in.’ Mike [Tomlin] ain’t going nowhere.”

While midseason struggles leading to a major change under center aren’t unheard of — releasing Rodgers seems extremely unlikely, especially if his mentorship of rookie Will Howard continues to show positive signs of growth.

Rodgers has been candid about his likely retirement after 2025 — but if Harrison’s prediction comes to fruition, his career may not end on his terms after all.
