The Pittsburgh Steelers’ spring practices are here. And yet, Aaron Rodgers is not. The team’s OTAs beginning today are voluntary in nature and Rodgers remains a free agent, giving him no obligation to show up. But Rodgers can’t have his cake and eat it, too. Be the Steelers’ starting quarterback and do so on his own terms. Everyone has a different decision deadline. Failing Rodgers showing up later Tuesday, the Steelers’ line should be today.
Rodgers is 41 years old. A 20-year veteran. A future Hall of Famer. Maybe he doesn’t need this work. Clearly, he doesn’t, otherwise he’d have shown up or be en route to Pittsburgh right now.
