It’s Friday and the Pittsburgh Steelers are still stuck on hold, waiting for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to decide where he wants to play football next season. Up until this point, it’s been a two-team race with the Steelers and New York Giants. But according to NFL reporter Diana Russini, a third challenger has entered the ring and that would be the Minnesota Vikings.
Russini talked about Rodgers options and other teams’ interest in signing him and indicated he plans to make a decision soon. What does soon mean for a guy like Rodgers is anyone’s best guess. Maybe today. Maybe next week. Maybe next month.
But Russini also talked about wherever Rodgers lands, he needs someone within the organization to keep him in check in terms of the outside noise and conversations. On paper you’d think Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin would be that guy but after watching him enable so much questionable behavior over the years from guys like Antonio Brown and George Pickens, we aren’t so sure.
