NOT everyone is convinced that Aaron Rodgers would be the best addition to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rodgers and the Steelers have been flirting all offseason, and it feels inevitable that a signing happens soon.

However, FS1’s James Jones isn’t so sure Rodgers would elevate Pittsburgh to the next level.
During an episode of The Facility, he shared his concerns about the potential partnership.
“Dangerous? I don’t know yet man,” he said.
“I gotta see how this Steelers team plays out. But I will say if they get Aaron Rodgers they’ll be back in the playoffs.
“But I can’t erase what I saw from the Pittsburgh Steelers with Russell Wilson in the game last year. I can’t erase how bad the defense was playing.
“Even running back wise, I know they drafted the young kid out of Iowa, but running back wise they weren’t explosive in the running game either.
“You bring Aaron Rodgers there, who is 41 years old, I don’t know what it’ll look like.”
Jones revealed that the team will probably win games with Rodgers, but he doesn’t think they can win it all.
“So, I’m gonna say playoffs,” Jones said.
“But I’m not ready to say they’re a true Super Bowl contenting team right now if Aaron Rodgers walks in the building.”
Jones has concerns about the Steelers’ offense, and those concerns will likely only get worse.
The Steelers made the decision to trade away star wide receiver George Pickens on Wednesday.
After adding DK Metcalf in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks, their superstar wide receiver duo didn’t make it to the regular season.
Pickens is now a member of the Dallas Cowboys after the trade.
With the Steelers’ roster looking lackluster, many fans agreed with Jones’ analysis of Rodger’ potential partnership with the team and shared their thoughts on social media.
