World-famous rapper Snoop Dogg<\/strong> isn\u2019t usually one to mince words, especially when discussing his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers. And, suffice it to say, The Chronic<\/em> superstar wasn\u2019t just blowing smoke during a Wednesday morning in-studio appearance on ESPN\u2019s First Take<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On the even of the 2025 NFL Draft (8 pm ET, Thursday), Snoop Dogg unleashed on the Steelers\u2019 dubious quarterback situation that currently includes only veteran backup Mason Rudolph<\/a><\/strong> and Skylar Thompson<\/a><\/strong> currently listed on the roster.<\/p>\n

First Take<\/em> host Molly Qerim<\/strong> opened up the discussion by asking about the potential for Pittsburgh to select polarizing Colorado<\/a><\/strong> quarterback Shedeur Sanders<\/a><\/strong> with the 21st overall pick, a scenario Snoop Dogg doesn\u2019t expect to happen Thursday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he\u2019s around. I mean, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to be around for the 21st pick. He\u2019s doing a lot of talking, but I don\u2019t think (teams) are going to let him stay around that long. But if he is available, I\u2019d take him,\u201d Dogg said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to get something back there to get the ball to these pieces we put to the puzzle. Right now I don\u2019t like the way we look at quarterback, that\u2019s no disrespect, I just don\u2019t like the way we look. \u2026 We\u2019ve got Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer at quarterback \u2026 come on, man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jokes aside, it\u2019s clear quarterback remains a significant need Pittsburgh must address during this weekend\u2019s NFL Draft, be it in the first round or by securing the services of 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/strong>, who is currently weighing his options<\/a> between retirement or playing the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs he going to show up to mini-camp and all the other stuff? Because that\u2019s what\u2019s important. Like if you don\u2019t get the rhythm of the team, then we don\u2019t need you, homie,\u201d Dogg said of the four-time league MVP. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to come in here and do what we need to be done to get the rhythm and the chemistry. That\u2019s what\u2019s missing. Like, whoever we going to get got to come in and get down with us. We don\u2019t need no divas so to speak. So, if he\u2019s going to sign, sign. If not, kick rocks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snoop Dogg\u2019s ultimatium aside, the Steelers front office has made it clear they\u2019re willing to wait out Rodgers\u2019 decision \u2014 though \u201cnot forever,\u201d according to team owner Art Rooney II<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether or not Rodgers ultimately signs with Pittsburgh as a free agent, quarterback will be of the utmost concern for most Steelers fans \u2014 including Snoop Dogg \u2014 throughout the three-day draft extravaganza this weekend. And if he had his way, Thursday could be a very special day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf (Rodgers) calls tomorrow, hell yeah, we\u2019ll sign him,\u201d Dogg concluded. \u201cI\u2019m going to take both of them (Sanders and Rodgers).\u201d<\/p>\n

Aaron Rodgers reveals where things stand with Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin<\/h2>\n

Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0revealed where things stand with him and the Pittsburgh Steelers. On\u00a0The Pat McAfee Show<\/em>, the Super Bowl champion quarterback said he has spoken to Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin multiple times.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, this entire time I haven\u2019t felt like I owed somebody any decision at some point,\u201d\u00a0Rodgers said<\/a>. \u201c\u2026 I\u2019ve been upfront with them about that. If you need to move on, call me, by all means. \u2026 There\u2019s been no deadline. And yeah, I\u2019ve talked to Mike (Tomlin) many times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodgers was then asked if he will play for the Steelers if he decided to return to the NFL. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am trying to be open to everything and not specifically attached to anything when it comes to this decision,\u201d he explained. \u201cI\u2019m not holding anybody hostage \u2013 I really want to emphasize that. \u2026 I\u2019m just going through a lot in my personal life that has to take precedence at this point. \u2026 At the same time, I want to keep the lines of communication open.\u201d<\/p>\n
