Aaron Rodgers remains at the center of the NFL spotlight, as his potential move to the Pittsburgh Steelers continues to be delayed, with little clarity surrounding his final destination. After a frustrating stint with the Jets, many believe the former Super Bowl champion with the Packers could find the perfect landing spot in Mike Tomlin’s team.
The veteran quarterback spent the last two years in the Big Apple, though unfortunately for him, it was a largely disappointing experience. He missed his entire first season due to a torn Achilles, and in the second, poor team performances ultimately led Rodgers to seek a fresh start for this next chapter of his career.
Considering he’s entering the twilight of his career, could Pittsburgh be the ideal place for Rodgers to finish on a high note? Journalist Ian O’Connor believes it is.
The journalist stated during a recent appearance on 93.7 The Fan, the talented quarterback has reportedly stated that he intends to play for the Steelers next season, aiming to join a team with serious aspirations of reaching the Super Bowl.
Rodgers’ hunger for redemption after his stint in New York could be the driving force behind his decision to join a contender like the Steelers. “… It may be me as an optimist, but I think this is gonna work out,” O’Connor finally concluded.
Who will be the Steelers’ next starting QB?
As uncertainty around the situation continues and several candidates remain in the mix to lead the team, reports indicate that Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have made their decision on who will be the starting QB between Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins.
According to reports from James Palmer, Cousins would only join if he lowers his salary demands.
That said, with Rodgers’ arrival to the team still unconfirmed, the player with the best chance to start in Week 1 is none other than Mason Rudolph. He already knows the franchise well and could bring a lot to Tomlin‘s team.
