One of the most intriguing free agents in the NFL market is the quarter-Arrière Aaron Rodgers, which is expected to be officially published by New York Jets when the new league year starts at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Rodgers was able to speak with other teams of the search for a new house after a two -year mandate failed in New York, and two teams that came out as supposed precursors are the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Giants of New York.
The Steelers are more winning than the Giants. Pittsburgh was a eliminatory team last season, while New York was 3-14 years old. Pittsburgh has also taken a huge step, bringing in the wide receiver DK Metcalf in a successful business with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Steelers would provide Rodgers with a good list to do the work every week. However, a team legend does not think it would be a match made in football paradise.
ESPN analyst Ryan Clark, who played eight of his 13 NFL seasons with the Steelers while winning a Super Bowl with the franchise, used the famous Disney film “The Lion King” to explain why he feels Rodgers and the Steelers could lead to a “waste season”.

“Let’s say that you put a scar in the team – you know, Scar of the film” Mufasa “and” The Lion King “, right?” Clark told his colleagues on “Get Up”. “Here it is: Mufasa tries to be Scar’s brother. Did you know what Scar’s name was before Scar? It was Taka. Did you know what Taka meant? Garbage, wasted. This is exactly what can happen if you bring Aaron Rodgers in it. You could have a lost season, you could have a waste season.”
Clark supported his opinion on Rodgers joining his former team saying that it had nothing to do with the quarter of the MVP four times with head coach Mike Tomlin. Instead, he thinks that working alongside the offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who joined Pittsburgh in this role last season, could be a challenge.

“You may have a cloakroom who must adapt not only to Aaron Rodgers, but to Arthur Smith and Aaron Rodgers trying to understand who will win the battle of what they want the offense,” said Clark. “They know what Arthur Smith wants: he wants to manage football, he wants to get a game of play. That’s not like that Aaron Rodgers likes to play football.
“So, this is not the personality of Mike Tomlin mixing with anyone, because it can train anyone, relate to anyone, it can motivate anyone. But it works with X and O, and when the X and O’s do not work, and Omar Khan, the Director General of Pittsburgh Steelers, says, OK, this net does not work.
Clark then became more animated when he discussed Rodgers personalities, as well as his best receivers if he had to go to Pittsburgh, by calling them all “crushing”.
“Yes, it looks great. He looks great that you had DK Metcalf and George Pickens there, but you have two accidents,” said Clark. “Are you going to have two wide receiver accidents, then add the silent crash to the quarter-tree?

If Rodgers does not go to the Steelers, Russell Wilson, who was the team starter last season, is also a free agent and could return to Pittsburgh.
The 20th season of the NFL of Rodgers was not what he had planned, going 5-12 as a starter of the jets with 3,897 yards by the pass with 28 affected and 11 interceptions.
