NFL News: Mike Tomlin and Steelers could face potential tension with Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers could call his own plays if he signs with the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to Mark Kaboly, that will be one of the major topics for Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith if the quarterback decides to join the team.

“I’ve heard rumblings of Rodgers wanting to call his own plays. I don’t know how true that is. So, just keep that in the back of your mind more than a report or anything to that fact. I mean, he’s been in the league for 20 years. He has four MVPs. You have to assume some of that was going to be like that anyway.”

It’s important to remember that just a few months ago, several reports indicated that Smith disagreed with Russell Wilson changing plays at the line of scrimmage, and it was speculated that this may have been a factor that strained their relationship last season.

Will Aaron Rodgers sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Aaron Rodgers will sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers soon, according to Mark Kaboly, but the circumstances won’t be normal. The insider noted that he sees it as very unlikely for the quarterback to follow a strict playbook when, throughout his career, he has specialized in changing plays and calling audibles.

“Do you think the playbook matters to Aaron Rodgers? I really do believe that it’s going to be Aaron Rodgers’ playbook. He’s gonna call what he wants to call and that might be a little bit of a battle. I want to believe that Aaron Rodgers is going to get a lot of ‘carte blanche’ when it comes to this offense, what he wants to do and what he wants to call.”
