Because the Aaron Rodgers saga drags on, some analysts have gotten skeptical if he’ll truly signal with the Steelers. One one that doesn’t share that skepticism is FOX Sports activities analyst and former NFL broad receiver Keyshawn Johnson.
“He’s going, 100%,” Johnson stated on current episode of Converse after laying out the Steelers’ QB state of affairs if he doesn’t signal with the staff. “Do you suppose that Aaron Rodgers desires to carry them hostage after which depart them standing on the altar? I don’t.”
Johnson went on to say that if Rodgers does depart the Steelers hanging after months of rumors that might verify individuals’s notion of him as an issue. Does Rodgers care about that? I’m not so certain. He has stated a number of occasions previously that others’ notion of him doesn’t have an effect on him, so why would he really feel in another way in regards to the Steelers?
Clearly we don’t know what the plans are for the Steelers and who they may purchase within the coming months, however at present they’re missing Tremendous Bowl expertise. They only traded George Pickens, who regardless of his complications was an asset for the staff. Now, their broad receiver room seems to be prefer it did final season with one good participant and quite a lot of different guys. For somebody who’s on the finish of their profession like Rodgers, I doubt that might be an attractive state of affairs for him.
Johnson thinks that the Steelers’ present home cleansing might be the explanation for Rodgers not signing with them but. He factors to Pittsburgh’s order of operations of eliminating Pickens and getting a working again as first precedence earlier than getting him to place pen to paper. As soon as all of the “shifting items” are set in place, Johnson thinks Rodgers will signal.
And throughout the subsequent couple of weeks.
“I consider he can be at OTAs,” stated Johnson.
For reference, Steelers OTAs begin on Might 27. After what has been an especially sluggish, drawn-out course of, getting this quarterback state of affairs resolved quickly needs to be a reduction for Steelers followers whether or not Rodgers indicators or not.
