Aaron Rodgers turned down more money from Steelers, per report
A new report has shed light on some never-before-heard details regarding Aaron Rodgers' contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers — and if true, could potentially sway some of his critics. The Rodgers-to-Pittsburgh signing dominated NFL headlines, but there's more to discuss months later thanks to insider information from former Steelers cornerback turned CBS Sports analyst Bryant McFadden — specifically how Rodgers turned down additional money on his contract. 'It wasn't about money because [the Steelers] are giving him around $13 million or something like that,' McFadden said via 93.7 The Fan. 'And I got word that he actually could have gotten more, but that's what he wanted… They were willing to offer more. It would have been a situation where they were willing to pay him more than what he's actually receiving, but Aaron was like, 'No, man, this is what I would take and I just wanna play ball.' That tells me this is a guy that's all in. I love that. That's what our team was about when I was there.' The days of putting the team first, above contract amounts, are long gone — which has become even more evident in the Steelers' ongoing contract dilemma with veteran DT Cameron Heyward, who's looking for another payday just one year removed from signing an extension.

Steelers host 4 free agent workouts following LS Christian Kuntz injury
The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to bolster the long snapper position, hosting four free agents for workouts following Christian Kuntz' chest injury during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On Sunday, it was reported that the Steelers brought in four long snappers for workouts: Rick Lovato, Jake McQuaide, Taybor Pepper, and Patrick Scales. Lovato, a 10-year veteran, spent the last nine seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he won two Super Bowls and was named to the 2019 Pro Bowl. McQuaide, who's been playing in the NFL for the past 14 years, is a two-time Pro Bowler and recently played for the Miami Dolphins. While both Pepper and Scales lack the Pro Bowl accolades of the previous two long snappers, they each offer over 100 games of NFL experience. Following Saturday's preseason loss, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin provided some vague optimism regarding Kuntz's availability — claiming there might have been "good news" on his chest injury. We at Steelers Wire will keep you updated on the situation as more information becomes available, as Pittsburgh gears up to take on the Carolina Panthers in their third 2025 preseason matchup on Thursday, August 21.
