Steelers, Aaron Rodgers Could Have Deal In Place By Tuesday

4 weeks ago

The Pittsburgh Steelers and soon-to-be free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers could have an agreement in place as soon as Tuesday, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Justin Fields signed a two-year deal with the New York Jets on Monday, and Sam Darnold agreed to join the Seattle Seahawks, so the options at QB for the Steelers are dwindling. The Steelers began talking with Rodgers several days ago, although he won't be able to officially sign until Wednesday when the Jets release him. The New York Giants could still remain in play for the future Hall of Famer if they make him a better offer, but one big factor could be Rodgers' desire to play two more years. Rodgers is far more likely to get a second season in Pittsburgh, and the receiver tandem of George Pickens and DK Metcalf is also more appealing. Even though Rodgers would have some solid receiving options in Pittsburgh, he'd still likely be no more than a risky QB2 in superflex leagues if he were to land in the Steel City. Stay tuned.
