Detroit Lions safety DeShon Elliott has made it clear that he opposes the notion of quarterback Aaron Rodgers joining the Pittsburgh Steelers. In a recent Instagram comment, Elliott wrote, “Leave his ass at the retirement home,” under a post speculating about Rodgers potentially moving to Pittsburgh.
Elliott’s remark underscores concerns about Rodgers’ age and recent performance. At 41, Rodgers is coming off a season with the New York Jets that was marred by injuries and a noticeable decline in play. These factors contribute to skepticism about his ability to significantly impact a new team at this stage in his career.
The Steelers are reportedly exploring various options to address their quarterback situation, including considering veteran players like Rodgers and Kirk Cousins.
However, Rodgers’ age and recent injury history may make him a less appealing choice for a team looking to build a dynamic and enduring offense.
Elliott’s candid dismissal reflects a broader sentiment that pursuing Rodgers might not align with the Steelers’ long-term objectives. As the offseason progresses, Pittsburgh will need to carefully evaluate their options to ensure they make a decision that best positions the team for future success.
