Former Pittsburgh Steelers player Ryan Clark expressed strong disapproval of the way the team is handling the potential signing of Aaron Rodgers, labeling the situation as mishandled and making him sick. Clark criticized the Steelers for being held hostage by Rodgers, questioning the respect given to a player who has not played for the team and emphasizing the need for a deadline in negotiations.
Despite Rodgers being a free agent and Pittsburgh seeming to be a frontrunner for his services in 2025, the uncertainty surrounding Rodgers' future has not deterred Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. This criticism from Clark is not the first time he has been vocal about Rodgers, previously calling him arrogant and a fraud for his comments on sports media. In other news, Rodgers reportedly made a pitch to the Minnesota Vikings to play alongside and mentor young quarterback JJ McCarthy, but the Vikings ultimately opted to focus on developing McCarthy as their key player.
