Winners, losers from Aaron Rodgers joining Steelers: DK Metcalf gets boost, Steelers still bad?

After speculation Aaron Rodgers agreed to sign one-year deal With Pittsburgh Steelers and report for Minicamp Next Week. While the team never really care about missing of rodgers based on CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan JonesCertainly, took time, patience and will to deal with at least a little bit in doubt.

Rodgers, 41, is coming off a disappointing two-year the jets in which he tore his Achilles in the week 1 of 2023 and then struggled for much of 2024. After winning nearly two-thirds of his starts with the steelers, Rodgers Posted Just a 6-12 record with new York, and he posted his lowest yards by attempt (6.7) as A starter Last Season While taking 40 Sacks, his Most since 2018.

Still, that is four-time MVP, who, too far from sin powers, holes in the best quarterback steelers have had with Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement. Also between lost 2024 Season, showed flashes “vintage Rodgers” later in the year, light through four-touchdown performance in the week 18 against the dolphins.

Rodgers’ plan for a sign has a ripple effect of steelers and league as a whole and now and in the future. Here are the winners and losers from the move:

Victor Pittsburgh Steelers

Steelers, frankly, desperate rodgers sign. So, there were talking contingency plans, but steelers had been behind the rodgers for months, with all the media form or all the report in the plans holding greater district to the organization that has been long enough for stability.

Pittsburgh moves from both of its 2024 quarters – Cicero Wilson and Justin field – and had three quarterbacks in the roster, a career back three Cicero and Skylar Thompson and the Sixth Rookie will be Howard. I don’t have an Inarguty classified Pittsburgh as one of the worst quarterback rooms unless worst quarterback location in NFL.

Rodgers are no longer premier quarterback, but it is clear upgrade on the Pittsburgh had at Jupiter and Perhaps even above Wilson. However, the Quarterbacks had similar Victoria Rates and expected points added by the DROPBULA in the last year compared to the Roddula and throw in the middle, and the middle of the tribe of Arthur and throw in the midst Scandal and in the midst of the stumbling block, 8.8 and throw in the offense.

Rodgers is another year has been removed from significant injury. He’s entered the system, as fundamentally, it is more sound than the breaks, underwhelming, sprinkle, roar, rodgers sale chaleatae, by Todd Downing. The biggest difference between breaks and steelers is stability. The breaks have had it for decade-plus. Steelers have. To be good rodgers.

Food: The Pittsburgh Steelers

If the Steelers are the winner and a loser from this subscription do not summarize the rodgers experience, nothing will be. Rodgers in a player in a manifest decline. How in the city that’s about to go for a football focus’ No. 18 Quarterback last time, it does not sound bad to you to see Wilson was 15. Great issue Wilson was all or-nothing approach who has reported severely in a deep ball. In order to be accomplished in the 28th of the success rate. It is still one spot better than rodgers.

More than Rodgers player is a significant injury history – and halts in the parts of 2024 – and sometimes-frustrating personality. Rodgers former coaches and breaks and teammates. I can’t deliver. Took a long time to decide the future and the face of the abbreviated offseason of the teaching new system. He’s at least a great personality. Has apt to Mike Tomlin’s well-established culture. That’s not saying possible possible. However, there are questions – and potential capital – ahead.

One of the first signs of demonstrating Rodgers to Pittsburgh was Informal throwing a session with the DK METCALF in late March. Metcalf, who was traded a seahawks and promptly signed by Five years, $ 150 million extensionProjects to type No. I receptiver rodgers has twenty. A supercharged anthlete speed burn, metcalf as a feature seriously in this guilt in-breaking routes too.

Further, steelers shows to be to match Metcalf, 27, with Quarterback who has worked with a large-bodied, physically donated by the perimeter receives the entire life. Metcalf has little competition for targets in a relatively barely wide receptor room, and not put him on his monster. Also between a rough 2024 to the jets, Garrett Wilson had over 100 conceivable, and davant Adams chat in six catching 77 yards in the game in New York.

Food: Steelers’ future quarterback dispersed

If you ever get off high-floor, low-ceiling path in the Steelers have been on the Roethlisberger retired now. However, it is likely to face the same event as they have done each year in 2017 to go .500 or better and fail to win a playoff game.

Rodgers will be Steelers’ sixth different starting quarterback with 2022 in the first year after Roethlisberger’s retirement. Only one demanded a team: 2022 First-rounder Kenny Pickett, who never worked. Pittsburgh, no resources to find the Roethlisberger succession with the Pittsburgh and lose and missed only real after left.

If the Rodgers really raises the ceiling, the Steelers will go another time without the design for the future situation. Maybe he proves this incentibility with terror years, but according to the past three days, which does not seem to be the case.

Victor: Aaron Rodgers

This is not a perfect landing spot at Rodgers, but it is pretty good. Steelers are not hunger and never losing time under Tomlin. While it was tiring, that is the will of the consistency in the league, where the most teams will rise and fall. Rodgers is backed with a strong self-defense and protected by a child’s offensive line and only improve. Center Zach Frazier had a solid rookie season and 2024 first-rotundius Troy Fautanu returns from injury, which is limited to the game last year. Leaving tackle broderick jones, from 2023 first-round selection, enters three and the key factor.

As a good-rodgers face in the Jets in the Week 1 and Green Bay Packers (On the Sun Night football, not less) a week 8. Then revenge turn begins. If you can beat the green Bay, who y’d have not beaten all your team in NFL on its notorious

Losers: Cicero Rudolph and Howard

Rudolph and Howard and everything has been asked to do. Rudolph Treaty Rodgers sound with aplomb. Howard, New off a national championship, figure to have a chance to be Rudolph’s first back to the worst. Now, both are relegated to the bench. Perhaps this is a great reason of things, a little less for Rudolph, but howard is relegated to a third-line to fewer use reps, which is a tough pill for it.

Winners: Steelers, newsworthiness and future headlines

Many rodgers. “Boring” is not one of them. For independence, which is often the very buttoned-up and directly with the media, rodgers is a major departure. Expect some fireworks.

The steelers are equal Crack The Kirk cousins ​​in Atlanta as late as late May. Cousins ​​have been at otas and asked for trade, though a deal was always at the Wait until the post-June 1 Money savings kicked in.

Now, there’s no clear spot to the cousins ​​in the ground as a starter. Bouns have four quarterbacks. Giants two free agents and educed Jaxson’s pipe in the first round. The steelers found an answer. Cousins Decided to discuss the monthsBut it will be difficult to find a good port spot and perhaps even harder to find the falcons to find a trade partner.

Food: AFC North

If Corvi, Bengals and thought this last year steelers reset, they have to think. We run by the pros and cons of the Rodgers signing for Pittsburgh, but it’s clear that this team hope to compete in the rough afc north. Rodgers is 3-0 on their career against Businos, 3-1 in the crows and 2-2 against Bengals.
