Rodgers' exit from New York included a tenuous meeting that he said came as a surprise. Prior to free agency, Rodgers alleged that "20 seconds" into a sit-down with both Jets coach Aaron Glenn and new general manager Darren Mougey, New York's brass questioned if he still desired to play.

Rodgers, who agreed to a one-year, $13.65 million contract with the Steelers in June after a lengthy saga, eventually connected with Metcalf during the 90-minute practice session, along with wideout Scotty Miller and tight end Darnell Washington, but did not toss any touchdowns, per the report.

Steelers Training Camp is underway and with a lot of new faces, it could take some time to develop chemistry with each other.
