Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts LIVE to a busy day of Pittsburgh sports news around 5 p.m. Eastern.

Should coach Mike Tomlin, GM Omar Khan and the Steelers’ brain trust pivot in their quarterback plans, as Aaron Rodgers is reportedly not close to an NFL free agency decision despite the Minnesota Vikings deciding against pursuing him? If so, should they consider other free agent options like Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston? What about potential trade targets such as Atlanta’s Kirk Cousins or New England’s Joe Milton III?

Paul tackles those questions, then reacts to news that Pirates starter Jared Jones is out for the rest of MLB spring training with elbow discomfort. Can the rotation led by Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller manage without him? And which backup options, including Thomas Harrington and Bubba Chandler, deserve the closest looks?
