Bradshaw, Steelers Legends Question Rodgers Pursuit

Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw has criticized the Pittsburgh Steelers for their pursuit of 41-year-old free agent Aaron Rodgers, calling the move 'a joke' and advising Rodgers to 'stay in California.' Bradshaw's comments are echoed by other franchise legends, including Ben Roethlisberger and Cam Heyward, who question the logic of signing an aging quarterback for a short-term solution. Bradshaw also blamed the organization for mishandling former first-round pick Kenny Pickett, citing a lack of support and a hasty judgment of failure. Some commentators, such as ESPN's Chris Russo, argue that despite the criticism, Rodgers may be the Steelers' best available option given their current quarterback situation. The ongoing uncertainty over Rodgers' decision has frustrated fans and left the team's direction unclear as offseason activities begin. Pickett has departed from the Steelers, though his new team is not specified.
