Ben Roethlisberger sparked a major controversy last week by claiming that Aaron Rodgers hadn’t signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers because he was waiting for the Vikings. Now, the black and gold team legend shared a new theory about the veteran quarterback’s future on his podcast Footbahlin.
“I have a new theory, after my last theory went viral. So, I think the Vikings are out. I think there might be a wild card team out there. Is there a wild card team out there that’s like: ‘Oh, wow.’ Like, maybe there’s a quarterback out there, I’m not going to mention any names, who maybe has a subtle injury that people don’t know about.”
At the moment, no one knows what will happen with Rodgers. The star knows that Minnesota is the best opportunity to win the Super Bowl, but Kevin O’Connell’s team is not interested in signing him. Therefore, the only options today are Pittsburgh, retirement, or, as Roethlisberger says, waiting to return as a replacement.
Who will be next Steelers starting quarterback?
Aaron Rodgers will be the next starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Ben Roethlisberger, despite all the rumors about other teams and the long wait to sign a contract. For Big Ben, the only option, although very complicated, would be to wait for an emergency rescue if someone gets injured.
“A starting quarterback on a team out there that has an injury and people don’t know about. Maybe he’s waiting for that. I still think he’s going to sign with the Steelers. I don’t he’s ready to retire yet.”
