Seely expects Aaron Rodgers to play again in 2026 and thinks a Steelers reunion is essentially inevitable once Pittsburgh misses on the other available quarterbacks. He also predicts Russell Wilson lands a starting job somewhere, says Kyle Pitts' price will be inflated and he'd avoid him, and argues Isaiah Likely in Washington would finish as a top-six or -seven fantasy tight end.
“And so the reunion almost kind of feels inevitable as much as we don't want to do it.”
