Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw insults Aaron Rodgers amid free agent saga image

Not everyone in Pittsburgh is a fan of Aaron Rodgers.

You can count legendary Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw among that group.

Bradshaw was on local radio station 103.7 The Buzz on Tuesday, and the discussion of course turned to Rodgers.

Here's some of what Bradshaw had to say:

"I had to go over and introduce myself to him. I had to go, 'Hey Aaron, I'm Terry Bradshaw.' I know he knows me, but I thought I should just tell him who I am. You walk in there and get in his presence and you feel like it's gonna start snowing."

How unwelcoming do you have to be for someone to say your presence is like the start of a snowstorm?

Bradshaw's take probably isn't shocking to most of the NFL. Rodgers operates at his own rhythm and shows conviction in his own decisions.

None of that will stop the Steelers from signing him. They need a quarterback, and Rodgers is a future Hall of Famer.

But it's probably a good reminder to come with slightly tampered expectations for Rodgers. He's coming off a 5-12 season as a starter. The year prior, he tore his Achilles after four snaps, and in 2022, he went 8-9.

Rodgers is 41 now, and he could probably the right the ship to an extent, but he's not the long-term answer.

Bradshaw seems to think it's not even worth Rodgers being the short-term solution.
