""That's nice the way he asked that," a chuckling McCarthy said to the question. "I mean definitely. I don't see why you wouldn't. ... I have spoken to Aaron, and so that's really where we are there, but I was able to sit back and watch the games and watch most of the Pittsburgh games on TV and I thought he was a great asset for the team.""
"The 62-year-old coach acknowledged that Rodgers, like other veteran players, needed time to decompress and make a decision on his future, but the coach embraced the idea of reuniting with the quarterback with whom he spent 13 seasons in Green Bay and won a Super Bowl title. "I think that's very important," McCarthy said of players like Rodgers taking a break. "The game is so emotional, what these men commit to and what they put into it. I think that time away is important.""
Mike McCarthy became the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach and expressed interest in reuniting with Aaron Rodgers, saying he has spoken with Rodgers and views him as a valuable asset. McCarthy acknowledged that veteran players need time to decompress and make career decisions, and that no timeline or deadline has been set with general manager Omar Khan while draft preparations continue. Facing quarterback uncertainty, the Steelers selected Ohio State’s Will Howard in the sixth round; Howard suffered a broken finger and spent most of the season on injured reserve. McCarthy said he was impressed with Howard’s development and championship experience.
