While a final decision regarding Aaron Rodgers‘ future in the NFL remains pending for the upcoming season, meetings between the quarterback and the Pittsburgh Steelers are slowly beginning to move in a positive direction. Head Coach Mike Tomlin remains eager about the potential arrival of the former Super Bowl champion to his team.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, as announced on The Pat McAfee Show, the former Jets and Packers player reportedly had a significant meeting with the Steelers, which went very well.
“It sounded like the meeting between Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers went really well,” the insider reported on The Pat MacAfee Show.
Although there is still no certainty regarding Rodgers’ final decision about his short-term future, Pittsburgh is hopeful about the possibility of adding a quarterback of his caliber and dreaming of making a strong campaign with him at the helm.
Is Rodgers the right fit for the Steelers?
Last season, Mike Tomlin‘s team proved to be a tough opponent for others, alternating at the quarterback position between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
That being said, the question leads us to imagine a potential scenario where Aaron Rodgers fits into the Steelers’ system. While it’s already known that Fields has taken his talents to the New York Jets, will Wilson be able to coexist in the roster alongside the former Packers quarterback?
If Rodgers’ arrival in Pittsburgh becomes a reality, attention will shift to the resolution of Russell Wilson’s situation. Given his experience and talent, he will likely seek to land with a team with serious Super Bowl aspirations where he can be the main focal point.
