Mike Wilbon warns Pittsburgh Steelers to avoid signing Aaron Rodgers over drama concerns | NFL News – Times of India

ESPN analyst Mike Wilbon has offered up a stern opinion on this. He thinks the Steelers should keep their distance from Rodgers. Wilbon indicated Rodgers isn’t the player he used to be and has too much drama. His remarks have caused fans to discuss even more about what should be done by Pittsburgh.

Aaron Rodgers will play for Steelers but not everyone thinks it will be a success
Rodgers has struggled the last few years. He lost more games than he won when he last played for the Packers. He then tore his Achilles on only four plays in the New York Jets. In 2024, he returned and the Jets went 5-12. The team looked elsewhere and drafted younger, quicker Justin Fields to be their new quarterback.Now, the only true option remaining for Rodgers appears to be in Pittsburgh. Others such as the Giants and Vikings made different choices with quarterbacks. The Steelers have only Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Skylar Thompson.The Packers could use him, but he’s 41 years old too. He’s talented, but there are so many unknowns. Wilbon believes the risks are too great, even if it appears to be an impending move.Aaron Rodgers can go sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers soon, but ESPN’s Mike Wilbon believes it’s a bad idea. He thinks Rodgers is over the hill and too much of a drama magnet. Wilbon complimented the Steelers for being an intelligent organization and indicated this would not be their style of move. Though all indications are that Rodgers will be heading to Pittsburgh, not everyone believes the relationship will last.

Pittsburgh natives Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor move to Mt. Lebanon
Pittsburgh-area natives Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor are returning to their roots.
Manganiello, from Mt. Lebanon, and O’Connor, from Uniontown, have bought a home in the South Hills after getting engaged this summer.
On Pittsburgh Today Live on Thursday, O’Connor talked about the couple’s move from Hollywood to Mt. Lebanon.
“It’s so nice to be home,” she said.
While Manganiello and O’Connor are happy to be back in southwestern Pennsylvania, O’Connor said it’ll be a bigger adjustment for the beloved chihuahua Bubbles. From the Pittsburgh Steelers fashion show to the gala celebrating the new airport terminal, the tiny dog is seemingly always in Manganiello’s arms.
“Bubbles is a California girl. She really doesn’t like the cold. We wrap her in a blanket and she has many, many puffy coats. I bought her a Steelers puffy to put in her stocking, so we’re going to see how she does over the next few months. But it’s not that long. It’s not forever. Winter will come and go,” O’Connor said.
And they all got quite the Pittsburgh welcome. O’Connor said it snowed when they were moving in, and Manganiello was outside shoveling for over two hours. She said she’s getting him a snowblower for Christmas.
The couple won’t be braving the Pittsburgh winter for too long. O’Connor said they’ll soon be off to South Africa, where Manganiello will film “One Piece” for Netflix. He’ll star as the villain Crocodile in the popular Japanese manga series.
“Bubbles will be in a better state,” O’Connor joked, saying it’s currently summer in South Africa. “I just bring Bubbles to set and hang out. It’s really the best job.”

Steelers re-sign veteran running back
The Pittsburgh Steelers are re-signing veteran running back Trey Sermon, the team announced today. Sermon has had multiple on-and-off stints with the Steelers since signing with the team rookie mini-camp. He’s appeared in three games for the Steelers in 2025.
Sermon was drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. In 46 career games, Sermon has 505 yards on 134 carries and three touchdowns with the 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, and Steelers.
The Steelers have the chance to put the Baltimore Ravens on the ropes this Sunday. If they defeat the Detroit Lions, the Ravens would have to defeat one of the New England Patriots or Green Bay Packers for the Week 18 matchup between the Steelers and Ravens to have any stakes. The Steelers can also clinch the division before Week 18 if they win their next two games and the Ravens go 1-1 or 0-2.
