Dolphins legend comments on Aaron Rodgers signing with Steelers
Dolphins legend comments on Aaron Rodgers signing with Steelers Few know the intricacies of playing the quarterback position better than Dolphins legend Dan Marino. The Hall of Famer joined "The Pomp and Joe Show" on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh last week to promote the Joe Moore Offensive Line Camp from West Allegheny High School in Pennsylvania. Marino broached a number of subjects, including his thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers potentially bringing in quarterback Aaron Rodgers. "If it happens, I still think Aaron has some game. You know he does. He can throw it as good as anybody ever has thrown the football. If his mind's into it and he's ready to go and that works, I don't think it would be an issue with the Steelers. "But, you've got to have someone that really wants to play there and he's getting older. So, I don't know what his mindset is. But, he does still have talent," Marino said. Of course, Rodgers has since signed with the Steelers on a one-year, $13.65 million deal that includes $10 million guaranteed and that could be worth up to $19.5 million. Rodgers passed for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns against 11 interceptions last season with the New York Jets, but the Jets finished just 5-12. Now, Pittsburgh is banking on Rodgers elevating the Steelers from the wild card team they were a season ago and into a bonafide Super Bowl contender. The Steelers finished 10-7 during the 2024 regular season to grab second place in the AFC North before falling to the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC wild card game.

Read more: Steelers, Aaron Rodgers Situation Receives Shocking New Details After Signing During a segment on "Nightcap," Johnson explained his thoughts on the matter. "If he doesn't play well, you know, players get coaches fired now," Johnson said. "And Tomlin could be on the hot seat for making mistakes. Obviously, he had them wait. He had the whole organization waiting. He's coming, and obviously he's signed because they got mini camp coming up very soon — mandatory mini camp. And he wants to be a part of that, which is also a good thing. That's a good sign. That lets me know that he's buying in as opposed to what he did last season out there in New York. So that's a good thing." Tomlin has been mentioned in hot seat rumors over the last couple of years. It would be shocking to see the Steelers fire him, but it could become a reality at some point. Since taking over as the team's head coach back in the 2007 season, Tomlin has led Pittsburgh to a 183-107-2 record. He also led a Super Bowl run during the 2008 season.
