NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers visited the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, sparking speculation about a potential partnership. The four-time MVP is reportedly considering an offer from the team, although details remain unclear.
According to some sportsbooks, Rodgers’ odds of joining the Steelers have increased to 75%. However, the quarterback’s true intentions are still unknown. Initially, he was thought to be holding out for interest from the Minnesota Vikings, but it appears they will not pursue him after choosing J.J. McCarthy as their new quarterback.
The New York Giants remain another option for Rodgers, who is rumored to be considering a two-year deal with former No. 1 overall draft pick Jameis Winston. Meanwhile, the Steelers have contingency plans in place, including Mason Rudolph, who recently returned to Pittsburgh after spending last season with the Tennessee Titans.
Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward expressed his frustration with the wait for Rodgers’ decision, stating that he doesn’t need “any of that crap” and is eager to move forward. The team’s leadership has made it clear that they would welcome Rodgers as a teammate, but if he declines, it won’t affect their plans.
With the Giants adding Winston to their roster, Rodgers’ future remains uncertain. As one sportsbook noted, the odds on him joining the Steelers have seen a significant shift in just 10 minutes.
