Aaron Rodgers took a while to join the Steelers during the offseason. Mike Tomlin finally confirmed a suspicion as to why the Steelers waited it out for the veteran.

While Aaron Rodgers didn't officially sign with the Steelers until June 7, Mike Tomlin had known for months that the four-time league MVP would be joining his team for the 2025 season.

Some have suggested that Rodgers would have won as many or more championships as Tom Brady if he'd spent his career playing for Bill Belichick. That would have required Rodgers to fully submit to Belichick's ways, the same way Brady did. For the same number of years.
