On May 2nd, Aaron Rogers ain't locked in as the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback just yet, but General Manager Omar Khan and Coach Mike McCarthy are. Pushing hard for him to return and run the offense in year 2. The teen beefed up his supporting cast this off-season, trading for Whiteout Michael Pittman Jr., and drafting Jeremy Bernard to revamp the receiver. Group after Rogers posted a 10-and-6 record last season with 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and just 7 picks. Skib Bayless came out swinging against the idea, calling Rogers washed and predicting another mistake if he starts, pointing to his low quarterback. Rating in the 20s despite some uptick lately, plus that brutal 30-6 playoff home loss, where Rogers scored a 15 on the 1-100 scale. Earlier this week, the Steelers slapped an unrestricted free agent tag on him, tying him to exclusive talk starting July 22, or whenever. Training camp kicks off, though he's still free to chat with other squads until then.

Keep watching this space, because Rogers' call could flip the script on Pittsburgh's whole season ahead.
