Steelers, Aaron Rodgers Deal Sparks Firm Remarks From Former Teammate

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. At long last, the Pittsburgh Steelers and future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers have worked out a deal and joined forces. After an offseason full of rumors, reports, and speculation, Rodgers is officially the new starting quarterback for the Steelers. Both the team and Rodgers have one goal in mind. They want to compete for a championship together during the 2025 NFL season. Rodgers is getting a one-year deal from Pittsburgh. It's not for certain, but this could very well be his final football season. If that is the case, this will be the farewell tour for one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. Aaron Rodgers #8 of the New York Jets celebrates after scoring a touchdown during the second half of an NFL football game against the Houston Texans, at MetLife Stadium on October 31, 2024 in East...

More Photo byFollowing the deal getting done, there has been a split reaction to the news. Some believe that Rodgers can lead the Steelers on a deep run. Others think it's a bad move for the franchise. Read more: Steelers Linked to Possible Trade With Packers for Aaron Rodgers Support One of the 41-year-old quarterback's former teammates has spoken out with a firm stance on the deal. That teammate is none other than former Green Bay Packers wide receiver James Jones. During a segment on FS1's "The Facility," Jones did not hold back from issuing his thoughts on the upcoming season for Rodgers and Pittsburgh. "Well, they're a playoff team now, again, and once you get to the playoffs, anything can happen," Jones said. "We all know, you just want to punch your ticket to the dance... Coach [Mike] Tomlin should have a smile on his face this morning because now your team has a chance to compete... Aaron Rodgers walks into that building, instantly, you are a playoff team." Those are some strong words from Jones. However, Rodgers has proved time and time again that he's a magician with the football in his hands. Read more: Former Steelers Star Rips Into Team After Aaron Rodgers Signing Even last season with the New York Jets, Rodgers played a strong season. He completed 63 percent of his pass attempts for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. The team may not have played well, but Rodgers proved he still has it. Now, the Steelers must go all-in on trying to win in 2025. Adding another weapon for Rodgers would make a lot of sense. Any move available to improve the roster should be made. While some aren't thrilled about Rodgers becoming the new lead man in Pittsburgh, he gives the franchise the best chance to win. It's going to be a very entertaining season for the Steelers with one of the best of all time powering the offense. For more Pittsburgh Steelers and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder seek answers after letting Game 1 slip away

OKLAHOMA CITY — The shot that will come to define Thursday's Game 1 and perhaps these NBA Finals landed with 0.3 seconds left on the clock, coming off the fingertips of Tyrese Haliburton, giving his Indiana Pacers their first lead and delivering him another signature moment after what had otherwise been a pedestrian performance. Advertisement But the shot that could have nullified it came 11 seconds earlier. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the star of the 68-win title favorite Oklahoma City Thunder, powered into one of his favorite midrange spots, bumped his defender off for some extra space and rose for a 14-footer he has buried so often during his MVP rise. A make would have given the Thunder a three-point cushion and Gilgeous-Alexander a clean 40 points in his finals debut, making his continued greatness the most obvious Friday topic in the sports world. But Gilgeous-Alexander pushed it long, bricked off back rim and the Pacers — without a timeout — won the game on Haliburton's jumper 11 seconds later. 'Thought I got a pretty good look,' Gilgeous-Alexander said. 'Felt good. Didn't go in. Then they got a look. It went in. Basketball. Ups and downs. It is what it is.' Here's the fateful miss. This wasn't one of Gilgeous-Alexander's more efficient nights. He needed 30 shots for his 38 points, making 14. He got to the line eight times, a tick below his season average. The raw scoring number reads as spectacular, the third-most ever in a finals debut. His night was something below that. But it was productive and, prior to the late miss, he'd done plenty to deliver the Thunder a Game 1 win. The operation around him just happened to malfunction down the stretch again, similar to the Game 1 second-round collapse against Denver, a 13-point blown lead in the final 6:28 capped off by an Aaron Gordon dagger at the buzzer. That result changed the complexion of the Denver series and pushed the Thunder to the temporary brink. This collapse — the Pacers closed on a 12-2 run after the Thunder led by double-digits most of the second half — puts the overwhelming title favorite in danger again. They left the arena Thursday night knowing they must now essentially beat the Pacers five times in seven games. 'It's a 48-minute game,' Gilgeous-Alexander said. 'They teach you that lesson more than anybody else in the league the hard way.' The Game 1 loss to Denver had a glaring strategic misstep. The Thunder played the foul-up-3 game and were burned by how early they deployed it. Coach Mark Daigneault's decision generated heat. This late loss, while equally baffling, didn't have as obvious of a tactical root. Jalen Williams mentioned a few defensive breakdowns late. Multiple players said they felt the offense slowed down too much when they entered lead-protection mode. The Pacers also hit some difficult shots. Alex Caruso singled out the Myles Turner side-stepped banked 3 from the wing with six minutes left. Advertisement But the Thunder left the door cracked because of their inability to leverage Pacers giveaways. The Thunder forced the Pacers into 19 turnovers in the first half and 25 overall but it only led to 11 points. 'Maybe we could have been a little more aggressive getting to the rim with the ball in transition after some of those instead of trying to come up and run sets,' Caruso said. 'I don't know if that's actually true or not. That's probably in the history kind of basketball tells me we probably weren't aggressive enough pushing those turnovers.' There's also the question of whether it was the correct choice for the Thunder to lean small to open the series. Daigneault went away from his double-big starting lineup and inserted Cason Wallace in Isaiah Hartenstein's place. 'Getting Cason out there defensively gives us another perimeter guy for Haliburton and (Andrew) Nembhard,' Daigneault said. 'That was the idea there. We've been pretty fluid with the lineup throughout the course of the season. Cason started 40-something games. We changed the lineup a million times. We haven't in the playoffs. But that's why we do it during the regular season. So that it's not earth-shattering when we do it.' The Thunder got off to winning starts in both halves, so that starting lineup didn't burn them. But Wallace was a minus-13 in his 33 minutes. Daigneault subbed him in for Chet Holmgren with 3:24 left and the Thunder up eight. They went without a center down the stretch and lost that subsection by nine points. Holmgren had one of his worst games of the playoffs, finishing 2-of-9 shooting in 24 quiet minutes. But the Thunder won his minutes by four points. Hartenstein was effective but only played 17 minutes off the bench. The Thunder's staff clearly analyzed the matchup with the Pacers prior and opted to lean smaller than normal in Game 1. They blew them out in March without their centers available. That'll be the adjustment or non-adjustment to track entering Game 2. 'We have a lot of optionality,' Daigneault said. 'We'll look at everything. We'll look at anything we can to try to give ourselves the best chance to win.'

Inside the Comeback: How the Pacers pulled off a stunner in Game 1 of the NBA Finals

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The game plan was the obvious one. Just chip away, the Indiana Pacers said, because there was no other option that would have made any sense at that point. They were down by 15 with 9:42 remaining. They were turning the ball over about once every three possessions, couldn't stop Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and had the Oklahoma City crowd in a deafening fury. 'We just said, 'Hey, let's just keep chipping away at the rock,'' Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. 'Got to keep pounding the rock and just chip away and hang in.' With 0.3 seconds left, there was no more rock left to pound. Not for Game 1, anyway. Tyrese Haliburton scored with that much time left and the Pacers stunned the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-110 in the opener of this year's NBA Finals on Thursday night. A look inside the comeback: The run The Pacers outscored the Thunder 32-16 in that final 9:42, with only six players getting used for those final minutes and all of them figuring into the scoring column. Obi Toppin took two shots. Both were 3-pointers. Both connected. Myles Turner and Andrew Nembhard each scored eight points to lead Indiana during the flurry. Aaron Nesmith led the Pacers with four rebounds in that stretch. And Haliburton provided the exclamation point with the jumper at the end. 'I've worked my entire life to get to this stage, so there's no holding back,' Turner said. The collapse The Thunder shot 4 for 16 in that closing stretch. Gilgeous-Alexander was 2 for 4; everyone else on the Thunder combined to shoot 2 for 12. The MVP had 10 points; everyone else on the Thunder combined for six. The reasons for all that? 'A little bit of everything,' Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. 'They made some plays. On some of those plays they made some shots. They got a couple that you wish you'd get back. We had bonus fouls, which were costly. Then offensively we didn't move the scoreboard as well as we could have. So you just add all that up and that's how you get that sort of comeback.' The reactions There was no choke sign from Haliburton, no celebratory dance, just a bunch of hugs with teammates and a big hug with his father John Haliburton in the hallway near the Pacers' locker room afterward. The Pacers, coach Rick Carlisle said, haven't engaged in a ton of raucous postgame victory laps during this playoff run. 'This is going to be a long journey and a lot going on,' Carlisle said. 'So, we're just going to have to keep our eye on the ball and keep focusing on one another.' The big plays Here were some of the key moments: — Carlisle subbed in five new players — Haliburton, Nembhard, Nesmith, Toppin and Turner — with 9:42 left and Indiana trailing 94-79. — Turner hits a 3-pointer with 7:47 left, cutting the lead to 96-88 and forcing an OKC time-out. — Toppin and Turner made 3-pointers on consecutive possessions (Turner keeping the second one alive with an offensive rebound) to get Indiana within 98-94 with 6:16 left. — Gilgeous-Alexander's two free throws with 2:52 left pushed the Thunder lead to 108-99. Nesmith and Nembhard connected on back-to-back 3s, and Indiana was within thee with 1:59 left. — The Pacers got a stop with 11 seconds left and didn't call time, having taken advantage of a challenge stoppage 11 seconds earlier to map out scenarios. The clock kept running and Haliburton hit the winner with 0.3 seconds left. The final word 'I don't know what you say about it but I know that this group is a resilient group and we don't give up until it's 0.0 on the clock.' — Haliburton. ___ AP NBA:
