From the outside looking in, it appeared that the Pittsburgh Steelers were living on a prayer for three months starting with free agency until Aaron Rodgers finally signed his contract in early June. Even the top local and national insiders had very little information to pass on throughout the process, which led to a wide array of speculation. The Steelers were comfortable with waiting throughout the process, and it turns out that was because of regular communication between Rodgers and head coach Mike Tomlin.
“I had conversations with Mike T. every single week,” Rodgers said during his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show today.
