Steelers' Alex Highsmith says Aaron Rodgers wait isn't 'a distraction at all': 'If he does sign, we’re definitely going to be really excited to have him'

Our Summary

Steelers' Alex Highsmith remains optimistic about the Aaron Rodgers situation, emphasizing the team's focus on current players like Mason Rudolph. Despite ongoing speculation, Highsmith sees no distraction and is ready to support whoever plays quarterback. The Steelers are patient, not pressuring Rodgers, but the uncertainty lingers with training camp approaching. T.J. Watt's contract uncertainty adds to the mix, but Highsmith believes Watt will stay in Pittsburgh. The team awaits Rodgers' decision while staying active in offseason moves, but the quarterback situation remains unresolved.
