The four-time MVP named his asking price

The Pittsburgh Steelers – Aaron Rodgers saga continues on.

When it was announced that the four-time MVP would be appearing on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday, many thought this month-long wait may come to an end one way or the other. That didn’t happen.

Among other things, Rodgers talked about his final meeting with the New York Jets, which featured an awkward back-and-forth with head coach Aaron Glenn, a talk with New york Giants Brian Daboll, and several conversations he’s had with the Steelers and Mike Tomlin.

One thing Rodgers wanted to set the record straight on was the amount of money he was willing to play for, taking offense to reports saying he wanted $40 million.

“I told every single one of the teams it ain’t about the money,” Rodgers said. “I said I’ll play for 10 M’s.”

$10 million for Rodgers is obviously a much more appealing deal than spending $40 million, but there is still no decision made one week before the NFL Draft.

The Colorado quarterback reportedly didn’t make a good impression

The Pittsburgh Steelers made waves last week when they hosted Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders to a pre-draft visit. And while a good portion of Steelers fans would love to see Sanders slide to No. 21 and get selected by Pittsburgh in the 2025 NFL Draft. That said, NFL Insider Aaron Wilson says he is told the meeting between Pittsburgh and Sanders didn’t go well.

“I’ve heard he will not be a Pittsburgh Steeler, Wilson said. “I heard that meeting did not go well.”

Wilson added this information didn’t come from someone who would intentionally try to affect the stock of Sanders to help a certain team land him.

Sanders went on Up & Adams after his meeting with Pittsburgh and seemed to think the meeting went great.

“I enjoyed my time here in Pittsburgh,” Sanders said. “I think I connected well with all the coaches and it was real fun.”

Sanders added that his visit “was a 10” when asked how well it went.

The Steelers obviously need a long-term answer at quarterback. If Sanders is there at No. 21 and they love him, they’ll take him. The more likely outcome, though, is that Sanders is gone before then and Pittsburgh waits until the 2026 NFL Draft to make a move for their future quarterback.

Another update on what the future Hall of Famer may no.

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to sit in the waiting room of Aaron Rodgers while he continues to weigh his options as the NFL offseason continues to roll by.

The NFL Draft is now one week away, and one would assume that Rodgers would have his mind made up one way or the other by then. CBS Sports Aditi Kinkhabwala provided an update on the situation in a recent appearance on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh.

“Aaron Rodgers is more likely to retire than he is to come to a team that he doesn’t believe is a Super Bowl contender,” Kinkhabwala said.

She adds that if Rodgers truly believed the Steelers could win, why hasn’t he signed yet?

“If Aaron Rodgers said. ‘You know, that’s the place I’m going to go help reestablish an offensive identity…’ why would it not have already happened?”

Steelers fans are past impatient when it comes to Rodgers, and many would prefer they not sign the 41-year-old. Regardless, it feels like we’ll find out before the draft, as dragging this into OTAs and mini-camp would be incredibly counter-productive.
