Mike Garafolo reports that QB Aaron Rodgers had a throwing session with Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf over the weekend at UCLA.
This is the latest development in Rodgers’ saga with the Steelers, as he has now worked out with Metcalf, who would likely be his No. 1 target in Pittsburgh.
According to Mark Kaboly, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said there is no deadline for Rodgers to decide whether he is joining the team.
Rodgers, 41, is a former first-round pick of the Packers back in 2005. He agreed to a four-year, $134 million extension that included over $100 million guaranteed in 2018.
Rodgers was owed a base salary of $25 million in the final year of his deal in 2022 when he agreed to a three-year, $150 million extension with $101 million of the deal guaranteed.
After one year, the Packers traded him to the Jets for a package that included a second-round pick in 2023 and a conditional 2024 second that could become a first.
He played just four snaps in 2023 before tearing his Achilles in Week 1 but returned as the Jets’ quarterback for the 2024 season. New York released him with a June 1 designation after the season.
In 2024, Rodgers appeared in all 17 games for the Jets and completed 63 percent of his passes for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
