Steelers CB Jamel Dean expects Aaron Rodgers to return to Pittsburgh
· Yahoo Sports
The Pittsburgh Steelers are introducing their newest acquisitions on Friday, which includes brief press conferences with the media. First up was former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean. The lockdown cornerback will play opposite Joey Porter Jr and create one of the league’s top defensive back duos, at least on paper.

Dean mentioned that he came to Pittsburgh with the intentions of winning another Super Bowl. Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette asked Dean how much of those expectations come with the belief that Aaron Rodgers will be back in Pittsburgh, and if Dean was looking forward to Rodgers coming back to the Steelers.
“I am looking forward to him signing back,” Dean said.
He adds that he has a ball from an interception he had off Rodgers and that he still needs the four-time MVP to sign it.
“I have that same football, I need him to sign it,” Dean said. “I’ve been waiting like five years just to be able to ask him like, ‘Hey, you remember this ball? I’ve been meaning for you to sign this ball for so many years.‘”
While Rodgers has not committed to a return to Pittsburgh, both he and the Steelers have very limited options. As it stands, the only two viable landing spots for Rodgers to start would be the Steelers and Arizona Cardinals. Considering the state that Arizona is in, it certainly looks like Pittsburgh or bust for Rodgers, and vice versa for the Steelers.
