Steelers DB Doesn't Want Aaron Rodgers at QB: 'Leave His Ass at the Retirement Home'

Amid speculation that the Pittsburgh Steelers could be a potential landing spot for veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers following his impending departure from the New York Jets, at least one player isn't interested in his services.

Steelers safety DeShon Elliott commented on an Instagram post and made it clear that he doesn't want Rodgers as Pittsburgh's new quarterback in 2025, writing, "Leave his ass at the retirement home."

The Steelers are facing uncertainty at the quarterback position, as Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are both set to test free agency this offseason. Still, Elliott appears steadfast in his belief that Rodgers is not the answer.

Elliott got an up-close look at Rodgers this past season when New York visited Pittsburgh in Week 7. The 40-year-old threw for 276 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions as the Jets suffered a demoralizing 37-15 loss in front of a national audience on Sunday Night Football.

Perhaps Elliott is correct in his belief that Rodgers isn't the right choice for Pittsburgh's next quarterback, but the team will have to figure out its best option as it prepares for another potential playoff run in 2025.
