Ravens Legend Offers Shocking QB Opinion
The AFC North holds some bitter rivalries. Maybe no matchup between the four teams holds more meaning than when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens meet.
Which is why it's so shocking when a former player who was involved in that rivalry comes out and has something nice to say about a player on the other side.

But that's exactly what happened when former Ravens linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion Terrell Suggs discussed his former rival and Steelers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, on a recent episode of The Rory and Mal Podcast.
"I would say [Ben] Roethlisberger is underrated," Suggs said. "He got more rings than [Aaron] Rodgers. He got more rings than [Drew] Brees. He got like more rings than [Dan] Marino. He's got as many as Peyton and Eli [Manning]. So I would say Roethlisberger, he's probably the most underrated."
To say Roethlisberger is "underrated" seems odd, especially since he's typically mentioned with some of the top names to play the position.
If you look at the list of names that Suggs mentioned in association with Big Ben, all but one - Eli Manning - are either Hall of Famers or considered sure-fire inductees.

Rodgers and Brees aren't in yet, but are commonly thought to be first-ballot Hall of Famers when their times come.
Manning won two Super Bowls, both over the New England Patriots and Tom Brady, and has a good chance, but isn't considered a lock, and was a finalist for the Class of 2025 but did not receive the necessary votes.

Steelers' First Post After Signing Aaron Rodgers Turns Heads
Steelers' First Post After Signing Aaron Rodgers Turns Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After weeks that seemed like years, there's finally a resolution to the Pittsburgh Steelers-Aaron Rodgers saga. Advertisement The two sides had been playing an intense game of cat-and-mouse since Rodgers was officially released by the New York Jets back on March 13, and after Rodgers reportedly was rejected by the Minnesota Vikings, the Steelers emerged as the frontrunner to sign the four-time MVP. With Rodgers still unsigned back in April, some believed the Steelers were considering taking Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL draft. Sanders slipped to the fifth round before being snatched up by the Cleveland Browns, and the Steelers grabbed Ohio State QB Will Howard one round later.

Advertisement Hours after Gary Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette broke the news that Rodgers informed the team he was signing with them, the Steelers posted for the first time on X after the Rodgers news broke official confirming his signing. 'We have agreed to terms with QB Aaron Rodgers on a one-year contract, pending the completion of a physical,' the team posted on X. The official announcement caused quite a stir among the team's fan base, and while some were excited about Rodgers' signing, many others flooded the comment section, expressing their unhappiness with Pittsburgh's new starting QB. 'This feels cheap and desperate. This is not a Pittsburgh Steeler,' one fan scoffed. Advertisement 'Congrats. You just signed the THIRD best QB in the division 🤣🤣,' another fan quipped. 'LMAO yall be doing anything but getting a real QB,' a third fan joked. 'Bro he is NOT saving yall 😭😭😭,' one user stated. 'Steelers really fumbling the bag this offseason lmao,' another replied. 'Just what the team needs, a locker room distraction at QB,' remarked one fan. In his lone season with the Jets (he didn't play in 2022 due to a torn Achilles in the season opener), Rodgers completed 63% of his passes for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, and New York went just 5-12.

Dan Marino Issues Blunt Warning to Steelers About Aaron Rodgers
Dan Marino Issues Blunt Warning to Steelers About Aaron Rodgers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After months of fans begging free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers to make a decision, he finally obliged. Advertisement On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced they had reached a one-year deal with the four-time MVP just ahead of the team's mandatory minicamp, ending the near 10 weeks of speculation about whether or not Rodgers would play in 2025 or retire. Many have weighed in on the Steelers' situation in the 24 hours since the Rodgers news became official, but one former player's opinion that stuck out above the others is that of legendary Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino. During a recent radio interview with 93.7 The Fan, the nine-time Pro Bowler admitted that while he still believes in Rodgers to play at a high level, he has some serious questions about where Rodgers' head is it, and he sent a subtle message to the Steelers to essentially proceed with caution. Legendary Miami Dolphins QB Dan MarinoJasen Vinlove-Imagn Images 'I still think Aaron has some game,' Marino disclosed. 'He does. He can throw it as good as anybody that has ever 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. Advertisement 'But you 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.' There is some good news for the Steelers and their fans should the Rodgers' signing not pan out. Former New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.© Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Pittsburgh is financially investing very little in the 41-year-old QB. 'Aaron Rodgers said on the 'Pat McAfee Show' he'd play for $10 million, and that's where the base salary is expected to be with some incentives to get a little higher,' Rapoport stated on Friday. 'It is not going to be a big-money deal.' If Rodgers struggles or things go sideways between he and the Steelers, the team can turn to Mason Rudolph, who has an 8-4-1 record as the Steelers' starter in his previous four seasons with the team.

Commanders Defense Got 'Bigger and Stronger' in 2025
Commanders Defense Got 'Bigger and Stronger' in 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. During the 2025 offseason, the Washington Commanders made several high-profile additions to their offense. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel and left tackle Laremy Tunsil stole the show as the biggest acquisitions of the offseason. Advertisement But … Washington made some shrewd moves on the defensive end as well. And those moves have led defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. to believe the unit has gotten better than last year's mark. 'We're really excited about the guys that we added," Whitt said. "We wanted to get bigger and longer. We definitely did that up front. We did in the back end also with [CB] Trey [Amos]. "So, the vision of how we want to play and how we want to be and how we want to look, you're seeing more of it right now from a size and length and speed standpoint.' Washington did lose free agents like safety Jeremy Chinn and edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. Both players were important to Washington's turnaround last season on the defensive end. Advertisement But with another year in their system, Washington is hoping the current group will get even better. They drafted Amos with their second-round pick and signed Javon Kinlaw, Deatrich Wise Jr., and Will Harris to free agent contracts. These moves may not stick out quite like the Samuel or Tunsil trades, but they are important for the team in 2025. And if this all works out … each addition on the defensive end may end up helping Washington reach the Super Bowl for the first time in decades.
