Calling all Mailbag questions! (Hey, remember the champs?)
What's on your mind? Fire away.
Aaron Rodgers is a Pittsburgh Steeler.
We’ve got a chat running on the (sports) news of the week.
Does this change much in the NFL? Eh, no. And all talk about one quarterback in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania got me thinking about the other QB: Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts. Remember him? The Super Bowl MVP? The guy who’s led a team to twice as many Super Bowls in five years as Rodgers has in 20? It doesn’t seem like any of us in sports media have talked about these Eagles nearly enough all offseason.
This week, I spent a little time speaking to folks in and around the Eagles to see how GM Hosie Roseman set this team up to win — and win big — for a long time. They punched the Kansas City Chiefs directly in the jaw down in New Orleans, and the 31 other teams should’ve been paying attention. There were lessons to glean from this ass-kicking. Expect a column on this soon.
Also: I’ll also have a player profile from Bills OTAs live on Saturday AM.
In the meantime, let’s get your questions for a June Mailbag.

Thanks, all.
Rodgers is going to Pittsburgh. While not a fan of his, objectively, I think the guy can play still. I think he needs protection at age 42, off an achilles. I watched every Steelers game last season (I like watching Russ play), and I can tell you their O line is bad, really bad, & they lost their starting Left Tackle in Free Agency & Broderick Jones, the named LT this year was awful at RT. Also, if you dig into the Steelers slide last year, their D was a sieve those last 6 games, that D is overrated, go check. So, my questios are: Do you think Rodgers should've waited for Minnesota a little longer? Do you think this will be Tomlin's first losing season? How would that impact how Rodgers is viewed in the pantheons of the greats if it is? (Sorry for the "long form" question.)
