Steelers place the right of first refusal tender on AA Ron.

Vincent said:
Why does Spotrac say "Aaron Rodgers signed a 1 year, $15,015,000 contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, including an average annual salary of $15,015,000. In 2026, Rodgers will earn a base salary of $15,015,000, while carrying a cap hit of $15,015,000."?

That would seem to be a fairly serious flub if not true. Are we allowed to use 'flub' here?

It also has this immediately above that paragraph.

2026-2026 Free Agent (CURRENT)​

Note the Current at the end. The offer is probably on Spotrac because it counts against the salary cap even though Rodgers hasn't signed it. My guess is there are default wordings on Spotrac that go in when a contract status is added or updated, and they haven't picked up it says he signed the contract even though he hasn't (or their system just isn't flexible enough to include an unsigned tender in cap calcs with a different wording to a signed tender).

Who is he throwing to?

Kenneth Gainwell. Usually behind the line of scrimmage, as it turned out.

Who was Drake Maye throwing to? He averaged 9.1 air yards per attempt, a full 3.1 more yards more than Rodgers' paltry 6.0....and despite being sacked 47 times (18 more than your hero), Maye still led the league in completion percentage at 72.0%.

And it doesn't matter if you throw it 5 feet...if you are reading the defense and you know the guy on the wheel route or a short out has real estate in front if him that's where a smart QB goes with the ball.

Now take your 10 yards or less and break it down into 3,322 yards...seems like a lot of YAC...almost as if the guy throwing it knows where it needs to go.

Wow...you actually do believe it. Yeah, it's about how well "the GOAT" can read a defense...not about him consistently throwing the ball shorter than any other QB by a large margin, and still only completing passes at an average rate. Brilliant analysis. And, yeah, underneath targets tend to have higher YAC...another revelation!

There is no doubt Ben was an amazing athlete. I dont think any honest person would deny that. He is the best QB this team has ever had. I'm addressing Coryea and his constant bashing of Rodgers that he does while overlooking Ben's similar at times behavior.

Im bashing Rodgers not showing up or even giving a damn answer as to what he's doing. I dont want him back, but thats not my decision. My point the entire time has been if the guy cared he'd be here already, we and he were embarrassed in the playoffs, he should want to be here working to help everyone get better. Every other QB showed up to their teams voluntary workouts. How am I bashing Rodgers while defending Ben for the same thing? Ben never did this.

You think Gainwell accounted for all that yardage?...LOL.

Gainwell had 486 total receiving yards...Warren had 333. Out of that you have to figure out which were more than just dump offs. In Gainwell's case I remember Rodgers hitting him downfield many times...Jaylen not so much.

I don't know about brilliant, but that is in depth analysis.

So much so that I can tell you Maye's average in the regular season was only 7.2....his average was helped by his playoff performance which bumped it up to 8.9 while Rodger's average was knocked down by his O-lines playoff performance. Otherwise they are very similiar.

You forgot where he yelled at players. That was one of your complaints.
I guess you prefer Ben's passive aggressive style of throwing people under the bus to the media.

Same difference.

Well Ben yelling at AB is what set AB off.

All that has zero to do with now. The leader of your team should be here. He should know if he's playing or not.

Im just sick of us Fn up the most important position in sports, I guess the 80/90's scarred me, not ready for that again

I hear you. I get where you are coming from, but really this is voluntary minicamp and rookie minicamp time. The team gains almost nothing by him being here and neither would he.

Now OTAs are coming up soon, he should be here for that. He NEEDS to be here for that as that's where 7 on 7s and 11 on11s take place. The first two camps are just 1 on 1 walk throughs basically. And QBs flinging the ball to assistant coaches.

But he is a dik...and he may feel the Steelers dikked him around with the tag so he may let his narcissism flag fly and make them wait.

If this keeps the Steelers off the primetime schedule, then I'm all for it.
 
Regarding Rodgers,,,

It wasn't just Gainwell or Warren, chief. Gainwell is simply one example. When 76% of his passes were less than 10 yards in the air, he wasn't just throwing them to running backs.

You are full of shlt. Maye averaged 9.1 air yards per attempt over the 17 games of the 2025 regular season. Not "similar" to your hero at all, in fact more than a 50% difference, which is an insanely wide margin for this stat. You have now resorted to completely making shlt up.

Your level of bullshit is very in-depth.

Did the signing happen?

Perhaps Ayahuasca A-Ron is heading to the desert in search of peyote?

Nope, but it's not important for him to be here so I'm told. I mean every other QB in the NFL was at their teams voluntary workouts, even back up 40 year old Joe Flacco, but it's not important.

He very well could be.

We told him our supply was for preferred customers and team members only…… occasional coaches

Canadians (they fall under preferred customers) too !!!!

I hope he gets lost in a wilderness of pain...metaphorically speaking, of course.

It does seem rather odd that amidst all of the hubbub surrounding his visit to Pittsburgh this past weekend, here we are on Monday afternoon with no deal done.

Do you know if it was confirmed he actually visited?

I’d heard he was to be there Thursday night (no show), then it turned to the weekend…………..?
