MARCUS Spears put NFL teams holding out to sign Aaron Rodgers on blast.
The ESPN star was furious with a claim that the Pittsburgh Steelers changed their draft plans for the 41-year-old quarterback.
Marcus Spears had some strong words for teams still wanting Aaron RodgersESPN ESPNMarcus Spears was appearing on NFL Live ahead of day two of the draft[/caption]Pittsburgh decided not to select Shedeur Sanders with the No. 21 pick in Thursday’s first round.
The Steelers have just two quarterbacks on their roster in veterans Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson.
They have shown an interest in signing Rodgers since he was released by the New York Jets in March.
Four-time MVP Rodgers has yet to decide on his future and could yet choose retirement.
A theory spread on Friday that drafting a quarterback in the first round could’ve harmed Pittsburgh’s chances of landing Rodgers.
But Spears wasn’t a fan of the discussion.
“I think you are dumb as a box of rocks if you’re waiting on Aaron Rodgers,” he said on NFL Live.
“Any organization in the NFL, you are dumb as a box of rocks if you wait for Aaron Rodgers to tell you if he’s going to play football.
“When we went through all of this with the New York Jets, the conversation was he would make them Super Bowl contenders.
“Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh will not put them in the Super Bowl.”
An animated Spears needed calming down by Adam Schefter on the set.
A new ESPN star Peter Schrager claimed that Pittsburgh’s decision to skip on Sanders meant they’re all in on Rodgers.
Schrager appeared on the Pat McAfee Show Thursday night.
The panel reacted in real time to Pittsburgh selecting Derrick Harmon 21st overall instead of Sanders.
“I thought it was the one place for Shedeur,” Schrager said about the No. 21 pick.

Schrager added, “Truth of the matter is, if you’re in the Aaron Rodgers game, the last thing you would do is draft a quarterback tonight.
“Then go to Aaron and be like ‘no, we’re still committed to you.’
“This tells me you’re all in on Rodgers and you’re going to give help to Rodgers.
“Shedeur made sense at No. 21.
“But this tells me even more so that this is Rodgers and the Steelers and that’s the future.”
