Just saw that Pittsburgh placed franchise tag on Aaron Rogers. At his his age, is he that important to the team?

It's a UFA tag. Just to have right of first refusal should another team offer him. The number ($15M) is what they would pay him if he plays anyway and by doing this, if the Steelers didn't match or beat an offer from another team and he signed elsewhere then they'd get a compensation draft pick.

Procedural move.
