Antonio Brown must have an inside source at a darkness retreat, as he is now claiming to have the inside track on Aaron Rodgers’ future.
The former Steelers star is reporting that Rodgers is headed to Pittsburgh on a two-year deal where he will play for Brown’s former coach in Mike Tomlin.
“CTESPN always has it first,” Brown wrote, citing his portmanteau of CTE and ESPN, on X. “Deal is finalized… Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers 2 year deal….”
Brown has consistently joked about becoming a reporter who breaks news, previously asking Adam Schefter to credit him for a correct report on Russell Wilson’s future destination being the Steelers.
“Adam what good CTESPN broke the news two days ago. I got sources. Can I get credit? Be big for my company,” Brown wrote to the ESPN insider after Wilson signed with the Steelers last March.
“Hope all is well, AB. Good work,” Schefter said in response to Brown. “Russ didn’t agree to the deal until tonight but I will keep looking out for you. Keep up the good work and hope all well.”
Brown was right last time about who will be the Steelers’ quarterback, but it remains to be seen whether Rodgers will land in the Steel City.
Rodgers is reportedly pondering whether to sign with the Giants or the Steelers, although Pittsburgh is currently the front-runner.
The Giants are attempting to improve their roster for the 2025 season to entice Rodgers to come back to New Jersey after an unsuccessful two seasons with the Jets.
Big Blue struck out on landing Matthew Stafford earlier this offseason and reportedly turned to Rodgers as their next favorite option.
They might not get chance, if Brown is indeed correct.
If Rodgers does join the Steelers, he’d be part of a remade offense that features wideout George Pickens and receiver DK Metcalf, acquired in a trade with the Seahawks over the weekend.
