If you don’t, no skin off my back.”He later defended his comments on The Rich Eisen Show.“Everybody gave me c*** — they said I called him [Aaron Rodgers] out,” he explained. “I don’t think I really called him out. “I just said I wasn’t going to go on a darkness retreat to recruit him. If he wants to be a Steeler, he can be a Steeler. That’s the pitch — I just want to win games and play good football.“Anybody who signs, I welcome to the team. I don’t have an ego and think like, ‘We can’t win with a guy.’ I get excited for our team. “You bring a guy on like that — he’s got a good knowledge of the game, and I think he can only help.”NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?Rodgers has new $132 million receiver DK Metcalf to throw the ball to but the depth chart looks a little light after George Pickens became a Dallas Cowboy.A sensational report has linked maverick former Steelers wideout Antonio Brown with a return.But outspoken ESPN personality Stephen A.

They gave you reason to question whether a quarterback position should exist — with how bad some of their quarterbacks have been.“The Steelers were stuck with Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson. Nah. That’s not what we needed. “You needed the ‘Bad Man’ — and we gon’ treat Aaron Rodgers like he’s a ‘Bad Man’ cause the brother can play. “He’s got DK Metcalf, he’s got [Pat] Freiermuth, and on top of it all — guess what?
