LaVar Arrington cético sobre melhoria dos Steelers em 2026

O ex-linebacker da NFL LaVar Arrington afirmou que não confia que o Pittsburgh Steelers terá um desempenho melhor em 2026 com Aaron Rodgers como quarterback.

Arrington fez os comentários em seu podcast 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe. Ele apontou as limitadas mudanças no elenco e o próprio Rodgers como os principais motivos de sua dúvida. Os Steelers substituíram o técnico de longa data Mike Tomlin por Mike McCarthy nesta intertemporada. Arrington observou que a defesa deve continuar forte, mas a classificou como envelhecida, apesar de algumas adições. Rodgers, que tem 42 anos, passou para 3.322 jardas com 24 touchdowns e sete interceptações em 2025. Arrington disse que o veterano continua sendo a maior interrogação para o sucesso da equipe. Rodgers trabalhou anteriormente com McCarthy por mais de uma década no Green Bay Packers. Os Steelers também adicionaram o recebedor Michael Pittman Jr. e o novato Germie Bernard, enquanto contam com uma linha ofensiva jovem.
