After months of speculation, Aaron Rodgers finally signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.
QB Aaron Rodgers finally has a new team as he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. This isn’t shocking as we have known that the Steelers had been targeting Rodgers for quite some time. However, it doesn’t sound like he was the team’s first choice. From reports, it sounds like the Steelers wanted to re-sign Justin Fields who ended up signing with the New York Jets and explored a possible trade with the Los Angeles Rams for Matthew Stafford. Check out what the Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers, and other NFL teams are talking about in our roundup.
