The Steel City has erupted—some glad, most upset—as signs are beginning to point toward a Pittsburgh Steelers-Aaron Rodgers signing following the throwing session with WR DK Metcalf.
One insider made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show to clear up some of the mysterious details surrounding what took place at UCLA between Metcalf and Rodgers.
According to insider Ian Rapoport, the meeting was planned in advance, wasn’t a secret, and went "very well." He continued by clarifying that while the Minnesota Vikings could pull a 180 and make a push for Rodgers, all signs currently point to a Pittsburgh Steelers signing.
The most important takeaway from this UCLA throwing session may be that it was the first Pittsburgh Steelers-related activity for Rodgers that wasn’t cloaked in secrecy—as his leaked Pittsburgh Pirates merchandise and meeting at the team facility seemed to be intentionally kept from the media.
Ultimately, Rodgers couldn’t stay out of the limelight with either of those potentially being breadcrumbs to a Steelers signing, and that could be why the four-time MVP didn’t even attempt to hide his practice with Metcalf.
