Steelers mini-camp starts next Tuesday.
Will Aaron Rodgers be there?
Will T.J. Watt be there?
Will the Steelers get a legit No. 2 wideout by then? Or ever?
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
Getting Rodgers sounded like a good idea before we had to wait three months with no resolution.
Here's how the Steelers can get the citizens to turn on Watt: Offer an exorbitant figure like $38 million per year. Watt declines because it's less than Myles Garrett makes with Cleveland. (That's $40m per.)
The No. 2 wideout situation is a very underplayed story. As of this writing, it's 448 days without a legit WR2. It's like a hostage crisis. The quarterback and offensive coordinator should be blindfolded.
Mason Rudolph should be QB1.
I believe in Rudolph because Donald Trump does.
Rudolph has been to the White House.
Will Rodgers be at mini-camp?
Some goofy Steelers fans complained to the organization because Rudolph, Miles Killebrew and four-time Super Bowl champ Rocky Bleier attended a local Trump rally.
Like the Steelers could control that. Or should even want to.
If you judge everything and everybody through a political prism, it shows how pathetically shallow and one-dimensional you are.
That goes for left and right.
When Rodgers shows up, we can forget about Trump. Let's talk flat earth, ayahuasca, darkness retreats and vaccination conspiracies. That's when it gets good.
Negotiating Watt's contract extension should get good, too.
Watt wants to be the highest-paid edge rusher in football. He's never won a playoff game. So, Watt keeps score with money.
