Steelers Super Bowl champion blasts the leadership in Pittsburgh for the way they have pursued quarterback Aaron Rodgers

Ryan Clark has never been afraid to voice his opinion.
That goes for the very team that he won a Super Bowl with, as Clark won't pull any pinches when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
And on a recent appearance on ESPN's Get Up, he let Omar Khan, Art Rooney, and Mike Tomlin know exactly how he feels about the Aaron Rodgers situation…
Ryan Clark says the Aaron Rodgers situation makes him sick…
“It makes me sick, to be honest,” Clark said on ESPN’s Get Up when asked about Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. "Unless Omar Khan, the general manager of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has some sort of promise or some sort of lean on Aaron Rodgers, believing that he is going to come back and play football, and if he does make that decision, he’s going to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, I feel like this has been mishandled already…
“…I feel like to be waiting or to be held hostage by a former quarterback of the New York Jets that’s actually never done anything for you…What has Aaron Rodgers done in the last two years or since leaving Green Bay that says he should be afforded this type of time? When I think about this decision, to me, it doesn’t matter what happens going forward. I think it’s been a bad play by the Pittsburgh Steelers already.”
It's fair to say that Clark echoes the sentiments of most of the Steelers fanbase at this point. Even the ones who have been on board with Aaron Rodgers are starting to get fed up with the charades and saga that has been the last couple of months.
The longer Rodgers remains unsigned, the less likely it is that he signs with the Steelers. That's despite all the optimism of their meeting, the words of the Steelers brass, and the throwing session between him and DK Metcalf.
Until his name is officially on the Steelers website, none of it matters. And with offseason workouts less than a week away and the NFL draft in eight days, the Steelers are still without their starting quarterback for 2025, and that's a bad look.
