Former Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien was predicted to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers amidst the Aaron Rodgers drama.

Inside the Steelers' quarterback debate during the offseason, an important coach reportedly favored Justin Fields over pursuing Aaron Rodgers as the starter.

"Their sustained success for over a decade here -- Coach Tomlin's never had a losing season," North said. "The Steelers are always playoff-relevant late down the stretch, and they have a national fan base, so their body of work is what warranted the national television exposure for them, same as probably in previous years."
