Aaron Rodgers likely to delay NFL team decision

cbssports.com

Aaron Rodgers is a free agent for the first time in his NFL career. So far, he has not found a new team, even though teams can negotiate with unsigned players. The New York Jets have moved on, and the Minnesota Vikings are currently looking at other options. The New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers are interested but have already signed veteran backups. Currently, many teams have their starting quarterbacks set. The Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns are rebuilding and might look for a new quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft. With most teams committed to their current players, it is unclear if Rodgers will make a decision before the draft. The Vikings might seem like a good fit for Rodgers, but they appear ready to develop their young quarterback, J.J. McCarthy. So, even if Rodgers is a big name, he may not be needed there as much as he wants to be. The Giants and Steelers could still be in the running. However, if they draft new quarterbacks, it might not be a good situation for Rodgers to join. He could wait until after the draft to see what happens and make a better-informed decision. For now, Rodgers seems in no rush to sign with a team. He might be waiting to see if any unexpected opportunities arise, like a new team needing a quarterback or if his talents could still shine in a different setting.
