Steelers Are Now Signing Aaron Rodgers Former Big Play Target

The Pittsburgh Steelers were said to be signing veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, but the signing never officially happened as the receiver wanted to see if there were any other opportunities around the league. Valdez-Scantling would probably be on Pittsburgh's practice squad to start with, and he was likely trying pursue an active roster spot. The wait is up, as the veteran was in Pittsburgh on Monday to officially sign.

It was announced after Valdes-Scantling worked out with Pittsburgh last Monday that he would sign in Pittsburgh at some point during the week, but that never happened as he pursued other opportunities. He couldn't find a better option, so now he is signing in Pittsburgh to reunite with his former quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The signed was initially reported by Jeremy Fowler.

This signing is clearly interesting because of the existing relationship between Rodgers and Valdes-Scantling. The two played together for quite some time while they were both with the Green Bay Packers, and that makes signing the veteran more intriguing as it won't be as much of a "moving train" to jump on due to the existing chemistry with the quarterback.
