NFL insider Albert Breer summed up three months in one article. Reviewing and recapping the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason pursuit of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a storyline that officially ended Saturday when Rodgers flew into Pittsburgh to sign his one-year contract.
Following Rodgers’ March 21 visit to the team facility, Breer notes the Steelers’ decision-makers were confident he was going to sign even if they were unsure when that commitment would take place.
“A week later, the Steelers’ brass left for the owners meetings in Florida with everything short of a signed contract, carrying a very high level of confidence that Rodgers was coming,” Breer wrote in a Monday morning column for Sports Illustrated.
