Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers had positive vibes after their meeting with Aaron Rodgers, according to a report by Josina Anderson. Additionally, the interaction between the quarterback and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is noteworthy.
“I’m told that when Aaron Rodgers met with Steelers brass and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith during Rodgers’ visit, that the conversation was already ‘beyond the pitch’ and really more about football. Smith and Rodgers watched film together and chatted about their thoughts. From Pittsburgh’s viewpoint, I heard they walked away that day feeling really good about the vibe of the meeting, per a league source. Also interesting how Steelers brass pulled the Rodgers visit off so discreetly initially calling a team meeting (rounding everyone up and away) that day.”
The Steelers believe that Rodgers could turn them into a Super Bowl contender while also serving as an ideal bridge quarterback, considering they might draft a young player at the position this year or next.
Will Aaron Rodgers get a contract from Steelers?
The Steelers have already made a contract offer to Aaron Rodgers and are just waiting for the star’s final decision. After Russell Wilson signed with the Giants, it all comes down to Pittsburgh and a very unlikely scenario with the Vikings.
Rodgers could wait until training camp and preseason, hoping that J.J. McCarthy doesn’t meet expectations. In fact, Minnesota’s general manager, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, has publicly left the door open to that possibility.
