Mike Tomlin is still waiting on a 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers to make up his mind. This isn't how the Pittsburgh Steelers drew it up, and that's part of the problem. There hasn't been much drawing up of plans at the quarterback position.Now, T.J. Watt is unhappy? Oy vey. The Steelers' best player took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a picture of himself flashing a peaceout sign. Such is protocol for disgruntled pros. He's got one year left on his contract. He sees other edge rushers like Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby cashing in. And no doubt, Watt sees the Steelers backing up the Brink's truck for a wide receiver who's never played a down for the team in DK Metcalf.Nobody attacks their profession quite like Watt. The seven-time Pro Bowler has every right to be pissed off at the moment. Watt was the DPOY in 2021 and finished No. 2 in the voting in two other seasons.On this week's Substack Live, we take a quick look at the state of affairs.Is there any hope? The Steelers still must contend with Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow in their own division.With or without Rodgers, they'll need to draft a quarterback.If Shedeur Sanders falls, he'd make a lot of sense in Pittsburgh.Be sure to download the Substack app and turn notifications on to join future Live chats.Also, here's our feature from September 2022: “T.J.
