The\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0were bound to come to terms with\u00a0Aaron Rodgers.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the pen has come to paper and he is officially Pittsburgh&#8217;s QB1. Rodgers has joined the team this week, so any personal time or matters off the field take more of a backseat as football activities ramp up with minicamp starting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>While the Rodgers signing was an expected one for the Steelers, it is a challenge nonetheless for both sides to have new faces get acclimated midway through the offseason. Therefore, Rodgers had a message ready for the team before the start of minicamp, per starting center Zach Frazier<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He talked today and&#8230; he just said he&#8217;s all in from now on. &#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-twitter-embed\">\n<figure class=\"m-embed mm-embed--twitter l-inline\">\n<div class=\"rna-container rh-ineligible\" data-embed-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrianBatko\/status\/1932464436150710656\" data-rhp=\"1\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1932464436150710656&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fathlonsports.com%2Fnfl%2Fpittsburgh-steelers%2Fpittsburgh-steelers-aaron-rodgers-teammate-meeting-all-in-two-word-message-offseason-minicamp-news-update&amp;sessionId=3d67179ca87713615f34339abf1fc2a5f697d77a&amp;siteScreenName=athlonsports&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1932464436150710656\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Rodgers will be &#8220;all in&#8221; for exactly one season, essentially serving as a bridge\u00a0quarterback\u00a0for the Steelers. However, he does step into a situation that serves him well in the latter stages of his career.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers should remain run-centric on the offensive side. However, Rodgers will have star receiver DK Metcalf headlining a capable core of skilled position talent in the backfield and outside.<\/p>\n<p>Given Rodgers&#8217; fallout with the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0and\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0in recent seasons one can certainly question how firm he is on the &#8220;all in&#8221; promise. His polarizing nature away from the game sometimes leaks into football matters as of late.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, there was no stopping Rodgers from opting out of another season or dragging this saga on any further. So at a minimum his presence and participation counts for something as he develops a rapport with his new team.<\/p>\n<p>But his progression through the offseason will be closely monitored as fans wait to see if Rodgers can deliver on this promise both in performance and attitude.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rumors connecting Aaron Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers floated around for the last few months until he signed with the team last week, but now that&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55049,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
