The Pittsburgh Steelers have had an eventful offseason on both sides of the football. The team signed four-time MVP and future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a one-year deal worth up to just under $20 million,

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin played an integral part in recruiting quarterback Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh.

During an interview with Kyle Brandt during Steelers training camp, Rodgers was asked how he felt about playing his former team, the New York Jets, in Week 1 of the upcoming campaign. The 41-year-old ended his two-season Jets stint on somewhat bitter terms after the franchise decided to release him last offseason.

LATROBE, Pa. -- Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott cracked a joke on Instagram that Aaron Rodgers needed to ‘go to the retirement home’ before it was clear the team was interested in him. “Leave his (expletive) at the retirement home,” Elliott said in March.

Before the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to agree to terms on their one-year deal with future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, not everyone loved the idea of him becoming the team's new quarterback. One outspoken critic was team legend Terry Bradshaw. Before the signing, Bradshaw had offered a very critical take about Rodgers.

The Steelers landed both Ramsey and Smith in a trade with the Dolphins that sent free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to Miami. Talks about the amount of gas that the 30-year-old veteran had in the tank will quickly starting to vanish as he continues to make those types of plays with ease.
