The Steelers’ organization met on Tuesday, as the squad kicked off their first session of Organized Team Activities (OTAs). There were a few notable faces missing. One of them is a player who isn’t even on the roster yet, in Aaron Rodgers. With many pointing to these OTAs as a potential deadline for Rodgers to sign, Steelers insider Brian Batko is already cautious of the implications of Rodgers missing action.
“For me, the alarm bells are already ringing,” Batko said, speaking on 93.7 The Fan on Tuesday evening. “I think it’s already a sideshow for this team… I think it’s already set up, fairly or unfairly, this dynamic or perception that one guy is above the team, and bigger than the team.
