Once teammates in Green Bay, it seemed unlikely tight end Marcedes Lewis and quarterback Aaron Rodgers would even have a chance to retire together. Quarterbacks like Rodgers can play into their 40s. Tight ends rarely make it past their mid-30s. And yet, both remain in the NFL as two of the league’s longest-tenured players. And their conversations from years ago about riding off into the sunset on the same team remain a possibility.
However, while the Steelers are deep in talks with Rodgers, they haven’t had any conversations with Lewis. Joining Kay Adams earlier this week, Lewis, a free agent, says he hasn’t spoken with Pittsburgh.
