Aaron Rodgers, 41, has not publicly decided on his free agency status, leaving the Steelers anticipating his next move. With the Jets and several other teams no longer pursuing him, his options are limited. Reports suggest he sought a one-year deal with the Vikings for a Super Bowl run, but they opted for young QB J.J. McCarthy instead. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin sees Rodgers as a potential asset, but it's noted that Rodgers aims to join a contender rather than play for any team.
Rodgers' options have dwindled as the Jets moved on from the quarterback, and the Giants signed both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.
According to Sports Illustrated, Rodgers even pitched the Vikings on signing a one-year deal to make a Super Bowl run, but they decided to stick with McCarthy.
Aditi Kinkhabwala reported that Rodgers 'is not going to play just for the sake of playing' this upcoming season as he wants to play with a team that's a legitimate contender.
Pittsburgh, with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields under center, finished last season with a 10-7 record and made the playoffs, losing in the wild-card round.
