The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t expect to be competing for Aaron Rodgers with the New York Giants right now. Straight from the horse’s mouth, they preferred to re-sign one of their own, though hindsight reveals a pretty obvious asterisk. When Art Rooney II said that, he clearly meant Justin Fields, not Russell Wilson.
Unfortunately, the Steelers are not part of the Aaron Rodgers Multiverse, as Brooke Pryor called it. And the current evidence doesn’t exactly provide comfort. Reportedly, Rodgers has his offers on the table—he is simply not choosing one right now. Given his past, people are questioning the actual motive, and whether he is looking for attention.
