Steelers Daily News & Links: Wild Aaron Rodgers Stat; Update on T.J. Watt’s Contract
Steelers Daily News & Links: Your daily stop for all of the news and links.
🏈 Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has the most passing touchdowns (548) in NFL history for a quarterback with fewer than career 150 interceptions (including postseason). Russell Wilson (377), Kirk Cousins (293) and Patrick Mahomes (291) trail Rodgers.
🏈 In regard to his team-friendly deal, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network thinks Aaron Rodgers is following what other great quarterbacks have done.
“The $10 million number makes sense because it allows the Steelers to build the team around him. Brady took less, Peyton took less, and now Aaron Rodgers takes less.”
🏈 Ian Rapoport expects Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt to eventually sign a contract extension.
“I believe that a T.J. Watt deal is gonna happen with the Steelers. … It just hasn’t happened yet,” Ian Rapoport said on the Pat McAfee Show.
🏈 Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow will meet for just the second time ever this season in Week 7 on Thursday Night Football.

🏈 Former longtime Steelers beat writer Ed Bouchette thinks the Aaron Rodgers’ signing want make much of a difference for Pittsburgh. They still have several holes on their roster.
“You could bring back Terry Bradshaw in his prime. And this team wouldn’t compete for a Super Bowl. It doesn’t have the talent,” Bouchette said on 93.7 The Fan.
🏈 The Pittsburgh Steelers have ha just four head coaches since 1966. Only the Baltimore Ravens, who were founded in 1996, have had fewer head coaches (3). The Cleveland Browns have had the most head coaches (21) since 1966.
