Steelers President Art Rooney II Reveals Consequences of Mike Tomlin's Departure on Aaron Rodgers' Future
The Pittsburgh Steelers' ownership group has revealed that if quarterback Aaron Rodgers decides to play another season in the NFL, he may be forced to explore other options due to the departure of longtime head coach Mike Tomlin.
In a recent statement, Rooney II expressed concerns about the team's future without Tomlin at the helm. He stated that while Rodgers is still an elite quarterback, his presence on the field will require significant adjustments to the team's overall strategy and play-calling approach.
If Rodgers decides to return for another season, it's likely that he'll be subject to a heavier workload, which could impact his ability to maintain the high level of performance that has become synonymous with his name. Rooney II acknowledged that this would necessitate a change in the team's approach, potentially leading to an influx of younger players and a shift towards more aggressive play-calling.
Rodgers' future with the Steelers remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the departure of Mike Tomlin has created a power vacuum at the top of the organization, and it will take time for Rooney II to fill that void.
