NFL franchise Pittsburgh Steelers have a gaping hole in their team on their quarterback position, and Aaron Rodgers could be the man for the job. The Packers QB seems like one of the candidates for the vacant Steelers QB spot after Ben Roethlisberger announced his retirement. He can be the spark of excitement for both the Steelers fans and their franchise.

The 2021 season witnessed local TV ratings drop by nearly 10 percent, and according to John Luciew of PennLive, ticket sales have taken a hit and no-shows are a regular occurrence. The average attendance at Heinz Field for Roethlisberger’s farewell season was recorded at 60,400, which was roughly 8,000 below capacity.

While Rodgers doesn’t fit with the team’s overall approach to team-building, his hire will show a sign of intent by the Steelers, and fans will turn up in numbers.

The recruitment of Rodgers would mean there will be no unused tickets with fans sure to want to see him in action. In the NFL circles, Pittsburgh would become one of the most interesting, and most followed teams and lift them out of their supposed slumber.

What recruitment of Aaron Rodgers would mean for the Steelers?

While bringing him in would mean paying Rodgers a huge salary, he might opt against it. However, Rodgers will be worth the price to pay and exciting for Pitt fans. The reigning league MVP might be joining a team in Steelers, who have draft picks and salary-cap space to make the necessary moves.

A Steelers team with Rodgers as QB1 is going to be competing for an AFC North division title in 2022. They have a roster ready to compete immediately, with speculations intensifying after Rodgers praised Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. While no solid contact has been made with the Packers franchise, they have a golden opportunity on their hands.

But Rodgers will be arriving at the Heinz Field to win the Super Bowl title in 2022 and determining the best possible situation for him to make it a reality. He has two other options in the Tennessee Titans and the Denver Broncos, who have an equally attractive proposition for the 4-time league MVP. The Steelers organization and their fans might be hoping to be his preferred landing spot if and when he decides to leave Green Bay.
