It doesn't seem like anyone really knows what to make of the Aaron Rodgers signing. His resume is his resume, obviously, but things with the Jets went so poorly last year that it's hard to let optimism run wild. He's also 41 years old.

And since there's not even fake football for the next six weeks, we all just get to sit here and chew on our best guesses. CBS Sports wasted no time at all doing just that, diving deep into a Steelers' prediction that'll absolutely set the table for a wild training camp: 10 wins this season. 10! Here's the rationale, as if you really need it:
We've officially got our first 10-win Steelers prediction
"Aaron Rodgers took part in the Steelers' minicamp this week, signing just in time to take place in the most vital portion of the team's spring workouts. While Rodgers finally put pen to paper last week, it appeared he has been in the Steelers' plans for a while.
Whether Rodgers is still elite or not is irrelevant; he's better than any quarterback Pittsburgh had on the roster. The Steelers also have a some playmakers on offense in Jaylen Warren, DK Metcalf and Robert Woods -- along with an improving offensive line. Their defense also should be a top-10 unit (and likely will get the T.J. Watt holdout resolved sooner rather than later). Pittsburgh isn't elite, but this team is good enough to make the playoffs (the Steelers did make it last year with the Russell Wilson-Justin Fields combination). They should win 10 games with Rodgers at quarterback (if he stays healthy)."
Good enough to make the playoffs. That's all I needed to hear. And sure, the Jets were theoretically good enough to make the playoffs with Rodgers last year, but they're the Jets. That alone disqualifies them from 10-win seasons.
Especially in the AFC North, 10 wins would feel like an overwhelming success. It'd almost make the Pat McAfee interviews worth it.
