Mike Tomlin had a vague response on the situation in the quarter-back of Pittsburgh Steeler in the midst of links with the veteran of the signaleur Aaron Rodgers.
After missing his first season with the New York jets with an Achilles tear and a campaign less than 5-12 last year, Rodgers and the jets separated at the conclusion of the campaign.
Since the divorce, the jets have signed the former quarter of the Steelers Justin Fields to a $ 40 million contract over two years. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson left the Steelers to join the New York Giants for an agreement of a year worth 10.5 million dollars.
The future of indecisive Rodgers, Tomlin said that the Steelers still did not know what they will do with their quarter.
“We always assess the acquisition of a guy at the post,” Tomlin told media members. “Whether in a free agency and / or the project, so we make our reasonable diligence.”
Although no decision was made, Tomlin addressed Rodgers’s visit to the installation of the team that would have lasted six to seven o’clock.

“It was reported that he had a day with us, and it was a very good day,” said Tomlin.
The coach also addressed that there is no calendar for Rodgers to decide his future despite the admission he would like to land in a team as soon as possible.
“Not to my knowledge,” he said. “I do not know that we approached it from the point of view of the deadline. Admittedly, as I mentioned, you would like to have regulated circumstances. But deadlines do not often bring this to the head.
The coach and the quarter-tree discussed “things he appreciates as a player and man and what he could seek with his next stop,” said Tomlin.
“I really wanted to spend more time knowing him better,” he added about Rodgers.
On March 18, Tom Pelisero reported that the ancient quarter of the Alabama, Jalen Milroe, dined with Tomlin, the Steelers Gm Omar Khan and the quarter of the quarter Tom Arth in Tuscaloosa.
The Steelers began their season with an abundance to the position, signing both the rising star Justin Fields and the veteran in good faith Russell Wilson.
Unfortunately, after losing its sixth consecutive season game, tied for the longest active sequence in the League, the franchise has seen its longest eliminatory drought since 1972, not having won a eliminatory match in eight years.
