The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly extended an offer to veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is currently evaluating his options. This development comes after Rodgers’ release from the New York Jets, ending a two-year tenure marked by challenges, including a significant Achilles injury and a less-than-stellar team performance.
While the financial specifics of the Steelers’ offer have not been disclosed, it’s noteworthy that the New York Giants have reportedly presented a more lucrative contract, with a two-year, $90 million proposal on the table. Despite the Giants’ higher financial offer, reports suggest that the delay in Rodgers’ decision with the Steelers isn’t primarily about money, indicating other factors are influencing his deliberation.
In the interim, the Steelers have re-signed quarterback Mason Rudolph to a two-year, $8 million deal as they await Rodgers’ decision. Rudolph, who had a stint with the Tennessee Titans last season, is expected to serve as a backup, pending Rodgers’ choice between the Steelers and the Giants.
As Rodgers contemplates his next move, the Steelers are also considering alternative options, including former quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson, who led the Steelers to the playoffs last season, is currently meeting with the Cleveland Browns and the Giants.
The football community remains eager for Rodgers’ decision, as it will significantly impact the dynamics of the upcoming NFL season.
