Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott made waves when he proclaimed his displeasure with the idea of the Steelers adding Aaron Rodgers to be their next quarterback. Commenting on an Instagram post about the speculation, Elliott said Rodgers could “leave his a** at the retirement home.” This made it seem pretty clear that the Steelers breakout star defender was against bringing in the four-time MVP. However, a recent photo may say otherwise.

Rodgers and Elliott took a photo together, as posted by Proactive Sports Performance with the caption “Who retires first?” Rodgers was smiling, pointing at Elliott while Elliott himself was smiling with two thumbs up. With context, perhaps his original comment was more of a rib on a friend than anything serious.

Should that be the case, it certainly changes how many would look at the possibility of Rodgers coming to Pittsburgh – especially if reports of there being mutual interest between Justin Fields and the New York Jets are true.
