Done deal now:

$20M. 1/3rd of Dak.

How good is the Steelers offensive line?
I'm hoping to see Rodgers get hit. A Lot.

 

[KJJ]

Reluctantly sign with them. Won’t take long for the boo birds to come out if he doesn’t play well. He may get booed anyway for stringing the Steelers along.

 

[Praxit]

......according to sources, no other team has interest. Go figure.

If you give this guy time to execute a pass...it's crazy value for 20M.

His mechanics, decison making, arm and how slow the game is for him at this point in his career is top notch.

Ability to run as a QB and buy time seems to have gained a lot of praise past few years. Last 20 years, all you heard about was pocket passer this, pocket passer that. 6'5 pocket passer with an arm.

Anyway, this board hates on this guy...but his ability are unquestionable. And...HE IS WILLING TO THROE TIGHT WINDOWS and not care if they get picked if it was the right read. Something this board complains about with Dak.

The tight windows emphasis on this board is a trap though. It provides the ability to sling hate at a player. Don't throw tight windows...You're a weak minded beta QB. Throw tight windows that lead to more INTs...You're a turnover machine.

Anyway...20M is a steal for this level of talent if you can provide decent pass pro.

Why?

Teams don't like him because of his ability to negotiate?

They don't like his scientific approach to negotiations that conflicts with their objective...so they bad mouth him.

Dude is undeniably a top talent...and at 20M. If you don't have a line...maybe it's not worth it.

...you know, I think its the drama he brings, the mandates he's been tied too. They are staying clear, I think.

Lots of folks luv to hate on AR but no one would succeed as the Jets QB. Has a chance to improve the Steelers ,even if for a season. More power to him. The guy also has a SB ring. This just in, he's pretty good.

Rodgers 3X MVP and SB champion. Hell yes, he'll make anyone better.

If anything, Howard can learn from him, if AR is willing to be a mentor.

They dont like the fact that he was a shell of his former self the last two full seasons he played

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

What a bargain, would take him in a heartbeat instead of the 60M/yr boat anchor we’re stuck with.

 

[Mr_437]

Bout time Aaron signed.

He's also older than the internet. And unless he morphs into Tom Brady, odds are he's not going to be uber-successful.

A torn Achilles is never a great injury, and definitely not at 40...

 

[fivetwos]

This isn’t going to end well.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

This isn’t going to end well.

I don't think it will either. Rodgers was a force of nature in his prime. A scrambling clutch playmaker of the highest order. Those days are LONG gone IMO.

 

[mcmvp]

So sick of Rodgers… Can’t wait for that guy to just retire

 

[Robbieac]

If Aaron Rodgers was put on a top shelf team with talent everywhere… He might be able to drive the bus.

But this is not the same AR as days gone by where he could carry average players around him. He is a shell of his former self, and his stay in Pittsburgh will definitely not end well.
