Steelers wait for Aaron Rodgers' decision on retirement
The Pittsburgh Steelers are still waiting for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to make a decision about his future. According to Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the team is willing to be patient, as they are not worried about money. Rodgers is currently deciding whether to retire or play somewhere else. However, some experts believe the Steelers should not wait too long. If they do, they might miss opportunities to sign other experienced quarterbacks. Russell Wilson has expressed interest in re-signing with the Steelers, even after meetings with the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants. Joe Flacco is also available as a free agent. Mason Rudolph, the current backup quarterback for the Steelers, has a mixed record from his time as a starter. Wilson, who played for the Steelers last season, had a respectable performance with 16 touchdown passes. Flacco also had a decent season with the Indianapolis Colts, completing over 65% of his passes. At 41, Rodgers seems to be nearing the end of his career. Last season, he struggled with the New York Jets, finishing with a disappointing record. Many believe that if a player is considering retirement, their commitment to the game may be in question. Former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher expressed concerns about waiting for Rodgers, suggesting it raises doubts about his dedication. Considering these factors, it might be time for the Steelers to move on and focus on other quarterback options.
