A previous report suggested that the Steelers only pivoted to pursuing Rodgers in free agency after they failed to trade for Matthew Stafford of the Rams and re-sign Fields.

Former Steelers safety Ryan Clark offered a controversial take — arguing that both Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin have underachieved in their careers.

Clark was probably not alone with that thought after Rodgers won his first championship. The Green Bay Packers have been a great team since he took over for Brett Favre, but they were never able to even make it back to the Super Bowl. Rodgers lost in the NFC championship game four separate times.
