Aaron Rodgers is delighted to be part of the Pittsburgh steelers after a long intersaison trip led him to finally sign with the franchise.
But it is not the only excited to see it in AFC North. Cleveland Browns Star Edge Rusher Myles Garrett also licks its chops.
“What do I think?” Garrett told Browns Minicamp on Tuesday about Rodgers joining his division rival. “I think it’s a good opportunity to put it in the cemetery.”

Garrett’s joke refers to his work to bring Rodgers to the lawn when their teams meet twice this season. In fact, Garrett could refer to what he does each Halloween at his house: install tombstones with quarters he has dismissed during his illustrious career.
Aaron Rodgers officially signs a one -year contract with steelers worth more than $ 13 million: report
Rodgers is no stranger to be dismissed. He has the record of all time for most of the bags taken with 571 on 248 career games. But he was not removed by Garrett during his 20 NFL seasons.
They only clashed once, and it was in week 16 of the 2021 season when Rodgers was still with Green Bay packers. It was a 24-22 victory against Cleveland, and Garrett could not get Rodgers behind the line for a bag.

He hopes to change that after Rodgers, the 41 -year -old quadruple MVP, signed a one -year contract that would be $ 13.65 million with the Steelers on Saturday, blocked for another NFL season.
Rodgers comes from a year down with the New York Jets, his first full season with the franchise after having undergone a torn Achilles in week 1 in 2023. He went 5-12 as a team starter, although injuries at the start of his production. He launched for 3,897 yards with 28 affected and 11 interceptions.

Meanwhile, the Browns had another difficult season after the quarter-Arrière Deshaun Watson tore his own Achilles at the start of the year. The Browns ended up going 3-14, but Garrett won his sixth career sign after having totaled 14 bags, 22 plated for the loss (leading the NFL) and 47 plated combined in 17 games.
The first time these two will be able to go to the lead
