Ben Roethlisberger stated on his podcast Footbahlin that Aaron Rodgers could transform the Pittsburgh Steelers into a contender. Despite the wait, the offense would reach another level with names like George Pickens and DK Metcalf.
“If Aaron comes in here, the team just gets this much better. I mean, you get a Hall of Fame in here. It’s this much better. The offense, all of a sudden, it becomes a different team. That’s Aaron Rodgers. It’s a different animal. You can say what you want. Yeah, he can’t move quite like he used to, this and the other, you know what still works: his arm and his brain. That’s something that instantly makes this team offensively something to think about. When you’ve got the weapons and that dude. That’s something else.”
However, in his quest to win another Super Bowl, Rodgers has yet to sign with the Steelers because, according to several reports, the veteran still believes the Vikings are a possibility if J.J. McCarthy is not fully recovered from his knee injury.
Did Pittsburgh Steelers sign Aaron Rodgers?
No. The Pittsburgh Steelers have not signed Aaron Rodgers, but they have already made a formal offer to the star quarterback to finish his career with the team.
At the moment, Rodgers seems to have only three options: the Steelers, the Vikings (a scenario that could unfold by August), or retirement. No one knows for sure what will happen in the coming weeks.
