00:00If you needed any more evidence that Aaron Rodgers was headed to the Pittsburgh Steelers,

00:04you just got it. Following a report that he and one of the Steelers star wide receivers worked

00:09out together, we received video that proved just that. Meaning it might as well be a matter

00:14of when but not if Aaron Rodgers joins the Steelers.

00:21Hey everyone, Rob Gregson of A-Z Sports Pittsburgh and today we're going to talk

00:25about the video that surfaced of Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf working out together at UCLA.

00:32Let's be clear, this is no small feat. One of two things happened. Either Aaron Rodgers

00:38called DK Metcalf or DK Metcalf called Aaron Rodgers. If Aaron Rodgers was going to retire,

00:44he's not throwing in the offseason in March to a random wide receiver. If he was not going to

00:50join the Pittsburgh Steelers, he's not throwing to the star wide receiver that they just acquired

00:57via trade. If he wasn't considering playing for Arthur Smith and in his offense, he's probably

01:03not throwing a lot of in-breaking routes as we saw in that video. So all the evidence points

01:09to the fact that Aaron Rodgers is going to the Steelers and this is just the latest example.

01:14Obviously, this week at the owners meetings, we've had the privilege to talk to Mike Tomlin

01:18who has said that he and Aaron Rodgers remain in constant dialogue and that the meeting between

01:25he, Rodgers and the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers staff went over very well. So we have

01:31all of these ingredients. The Steelers and Rodgers, they just have to put it together

01:36and they have to make the final dish. That's all that's really left. We've heard that

01:40they remain close in terms of contract negotiations. We've heard that they obviously

01:45like each other and we know now that he and Metcalf have got together that there's a mutual

01:50interest between he and his pass catchers. Add on to the fact that if the Minnesota Vikings

01:56are truly out of the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes and he really does want to play, which as we said,

02:02it obviously looks like that, Aaron Rodgers doesn't have another choice. He doesn't have

02:06another option unless he wants to wait out training camp or potentially further than that

02:11in hopes that some starter gets injured. So this match has been brewing for a while

02:17and the Metcalf piece is the latest but potentially the most significant factor

02:22in what is looking more and more likely to be an Aaron Rodgers signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
