Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Aaron Rodgers wait not 'a distraction at all'
Our Summary
Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith stated that the ongoing wait for Aaron Rodgers to decide on joining the team is not a distraction for the players. Rodgers, released by the New York Jets, is being pursued by the Steelers after losing Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to free agency. The team has Mason Rudolph back and drafted Will Howard in the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite interest from other teams like the Giants and Vikings, it seems like it's either the Steelers or retirement for Rodgers. Speculation arose after Rodgers worked out with DK Metcalf, a player Pittsburgh acquired. The wait for Rodgers to make a decision continues.
