Steelers’ Pursuit Of Rodgers Was Decision By ‘Organization In Totality,’ Beat Writer Says

Mike Tomlin may or may not have gone “lone ranger” last year on his decision to replace Justin Fields with Russell Wilson when the team was 4-2. But it sounds like the pursuit of Aaron Rodgers had a bit more of a consensus in the building.

“I gotta tell you, this was a decision by the organization in totality,” ESPN’s Brooke Pryor said via Get Up this morning. “Mike Tomlin obviously out in front to bring him in.”

There is reason to believe that Arthur Smith wanted to stick with Justin Fields last season.
