One of the most intriguing free agents who are still in the NFL market is the field marshal Aaron Rodgers, who is expected to be officially published by the New York Jets when the new year of the League begins at 4 pm on Wednesday.
Rodgers has been able to talk to other teams about the search for a new home after a failed two -year mandate in New York, and two teams that have come out as supposed friends are the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York giants.
Steelers are more victories than giants. Pittsburgh was a playoff team last season, while New York was 3-14. Pittsburgh also made a great movement, bringing the open DK Metcalf receptor in a successful success with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Steelers would provide Rodgers with a good list to do the job every week. However, a team legend does not believe it is a match made in the sky of football.
ESPN Ryan Clark analyst, who played eight of his 13 NFL seasons with the Steelers while winning a Super Bowl with the franchise, used the famous Disney movie “The Lion King” to explain why he feels that Rodgers and Steelers could lead to a “garbage season.”
The bills agree the terms with the five times Pro Bolse Joey Bosa in a 1 year contract: reports
“Let’s say you scar on the team, you know, scar from the movie ‘Mufasa’ and ‘The Lion King’, right?” Clark told his colleagues about ‘Get up’. “Here it is: Mufasa is trying to be Scar’s brother. Do you know what was called Scar before Scar? It was Taka. Do you know what Taka meant? Basque, wasted. That is exactly what can happen if you bring Aaron Rodgers there. You could have a wasted season, you could have a garbage season.”
Clark supported his opinion about Rodgers by joining his former team saying that it had nothing to do with the four -time MVP field with chief coach Mike Tomlin. Instead, he believes that working with the offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who joined Pittsburgh in that role last season, could be a challenge.

“You could have a costume that has to adapt not only to Aaron Rodgers, but Arthur Smith and Aaron Rodgers trying to discover who will win the battle of what they want the offensive to be,” Clark explained. “They know what Arthur Smith wants: he wants to direct football, he wants to get a game action pass. That is not the way Aaron Rodgers likes to play football.
“So, it is not about Mike Tomlin’s personality mixing with anyone, because he can train anyone, interact with anyone, can motivate anyone. But it works with the X and O’s, and when the X and O’s do not work, and Omar Khan, the general manager of the Pittsburgh steelers, says: ‘Ok, this piece does not work.
Clark then encouraged himself more when talking about Rodgers’ personalities, as well as his main receptors if he was going to Pittsburgh, calling them all “accidents.”
“Yes, it looks great. It looks very good that you have DK Metcalf and George Pickens, but you have two accidents,” said Clark. “Are you going to have two crash accidents on the open receiver, and then add the silent clash in quartback? Hell no. This is not something that feels in my soul like someone who loves black and gold, I do not put myself warm and tingling thinking about this.”

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