Steelers and Giants await Aaron Rodgers' decision

nbcsports.com

Aaron Rodgers is holding up several NFL teams as they wait for him to make a decision on his next move. The Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants are especially eager to learn his plans, as they are considering adding other veteran quarterbacks. The Giants are in a tougher spot. They currently have only one quarterback, Tommy DeVito, who has limited experience. They are desperate for a more reliable option and have recently brought in Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, and Jameis Winston for visits. The Steelers have two quarterbacks, Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson. Rudolph did well late last season, while Thompson has also started in a playoff game. They are in a better position to wait, as they may feel comfortable using the draft to find a new player. Both teams might think about signing a veteran quarterback with the understanding that he could be let go if Rodgers decides to join them later on. The terms of any contract will be crucial in these situations to protect against this risk. There is a concern that by the time Rodgers makes his decision, there might not be any job openings left for him. His strategy seems to involve waiting to see if he has a chance with the Minnesota Vikings. This leaves the Steelers and Giants wondering how much longer they should wait for him.
