Yes, Aaron Rodgers has returned to Pittsburgh. No, he has not yet returned to the Steelers.<\/p>\n
Via Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Rodgers \u201chas been in town for a couple days<\/a>.\u201d However, he has not met with the Steelers. He also has not made an appearance at the team\u2019s facility during the weekend\u2019s rookie minicamp. (There had been at least one report that he wanted to get to know the new players.)<\/p>\n Instead, the Steelers have been talking to Rodgers\u2019s agent.<\/p>\n Despite persistent claims that Rodgers\u2019s potential re-signing isn\u2019t about money, there\u2019s nothing to discuss in a veteran contract except money. He had a base salary of $13.65 million last year, a very low rate relative to the market at the position. This year, the ultimate question is the amount he wants, the amount the team will offer, and whether (and where) the two positions will overlap.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, coach Mike McCarthy met with reporters on Saturday. On the possibility of Rodgers officially joining the team before OTAs begin on May 18, McCarthy said, \u201cThree quarterbacks is the normal. Four would be awesome<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yes, Aaron Rodgers has returned to Pittsburgh. No, he has not yet returned to the Steelers.
