While its preference It would be to sign Justin Fields or Russell Wilson again, the Steelers can consider signing the four -time MVP of the League and the future field marshal of the Aaron Rodgers Hall of Fame to help stabilize their field marshal position.
Bill Cowher, the former coach of the Steelers Hall of Fame, believes that the brass of the team will have a dialogue with respect to Rodgers, if they have not yet done so. Rodgers is free to start talking with teams after the jets Publicly announced his intentions of separating from him.
“I think there will be a feeling of urgency,” Cowher said about Dan Patrick’s showThrough the review of Tribune. “Taking some boys at the back of their races. TJ Watt, Cam Heyward. They are in the last stages of their races. So they want to win now.
“That is a large part of what they want to do, but you must also have a plan in the future and in that position. There will be a dialogue there, but there will be conversations that will take place in that building.”
Cowher also referred to Fields and Wilson, who combined to take the Steelers to a 10-7 record last season. Fields helped take Pittsburgh to a 4-2 start, while Wilson won six of his first seven openings after replacing the fields in the initial alignment. At that time, it seemed an inevitable conclusion that the Steelers would sign Wilson again, whose 414 aerial yards in the victory of Pittsburgh’s 13 low.
But Wilson and the Steelers had problems after that, since Pittsburgh lost their last five games that included a ugly loss of 28-14 against the Ravens in the Commodines Round. Wilson’s regression during that period has led to continuous instability in the field marshal position for Pittsburgh, who is still looking for the long -term successor of Ben Roethlisberger.
“I don’t know where they are now in terms of their field Marshal situation with Russell and Justin,” Cowher said. “I think a decision must be made: ‘What is the future plan and what is the plan in the interim?'”
According to the president of the Steelers, Art Rooney II, the preference of the Steelers is to sign Fields or Wilson again. Fields seems to be the best option of the two, given their age (he will be 26 years in March), how well he played last year and his continuous potential without exploiting. But re -signing the fields is not sure. Steelers will need to do it A relatively generous offer That would force him to sign again instead of trying the market for the first time in his career.
This is where Rodgers comes into play. If Steelers do not sign the fields again, Rodgers could become a possibility, assuming that he has not found a new team. While his age (41) prevents him from being a long -term solution in Pittsburgh, Steelers could try to squeeze any football that is in the future member of the Hall of Fame.
While the 2024 jets unfortunately regretted, Rodgers was quite good, at least from a statistical point of view. Rodgers finished the eighth season at the NFL in air yards and touchdown passes. His 11 interceptions coincided with the total launched by Patrick Mahomes and Jordan Love, his successor in Green Bay.
Unlike many experts, Cowher feels that Rodgers still has a good football in him. Cowher also referred to the fact that Rodgers will surely be motivated to play well after the jets decided to go in a different direction.
“I think he wants to play,” Cowher said. “I think there will be a place for him, somewhere. He is going to his dark place. He’s going to leave. You never know where Aaron comes from. But I still believe.
“It has to be the right place for him. The correct situation. I just don’t think I want to feel that he was left without this year of New York’s jets. I just don’t think I want to go in that note.
