Despite their history together, Aaron Rodgers had no influence in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to sign WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, according to Mike Tomlin. A move months in the making, the Steelers reportedly attempted to sign Valdes-Scantling at the start of the season. After a stint in San Francisco, he worked out for the Steelers last week, finally and officially signing to the team’s practice squad Wednesday.
