Reports are that the Pittsburgh Steelers gave Aaron Rodgers 48 hours pre-draft to make a decision regarding his future. Leaving all eyes glued on day 2 of the draft and what direction they will go.
Here we are in the lead up to day 2 of the draft and we have no announcement from either party (Rodgers or the Steelers) that seems like a strong indication of where the wind is blowing in regards to his current interest with the Steelers. Will Pittsburgh address QB on day 2 with Shedeur Sanders still available among others? Will that signify the end for their QB search?
As the days tick by it seems more and more likely that Rodgers is leaning toward retirement. It hardly seems a fitting end for one of the great QBs of this era. Hopefully there is some kind of swan song for Rodgers as a late season fill in.

Jets GM Darren Mougey says that the team will pick up wide receiver Garrett Wilson’s 5th-year option.
Garrett Wilson will be staying in New York for the foreseeable future. Jets General Manager Darren Mougey told reporters that the Jets will be exercising the 5th-year team option to keep Garrett Wilson in New York.
Amid frustrations with how the Jets fate has played out the last 2 seasons, Wilson has been rumored to want a trade away from the team. There has been no recent buzz about Garrett Wilson wanting a trade and part of that can be attributed to the fact that new head coach Aaron Glenn has decided to move on from the Aaron Rodgers era.
Garrett Wilson has been reunited with his college quarterback Justin Fields and will look to build off of his WR-10 and 101 reception performance in 2025. Wilson is being drafted in the early 3rd round on Underdog as WR-15.

The latest reporting is that unless Rodgers gets an offer to his liking with a contender he will retire. The list of contenders that need a QB seemingly begins and ends with Pittsburgh and negotiations have stalled.
While Pittsburgh are not completely out of contention for him. The number of Quarter Backs they have had in for team visits seems to indicate they are leaning another direction.
The other possibility is that he sits tight and is called upon as an injury replacement later on in the season if that outcome occurs. Rodgers has always been a magnet for drama, it would only be fitting that his last chapter is brought about by some drama.
A divisive figure through college, to the night he was drafted, understudying Brett Favre and the countless other moments in his illustrious career. One thing is for sure whatever happens will be on his terms.

Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin said the organization had a “really good day” with free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers during his visit on March 21st, per Brooke Pryor.
Aaron Rodgers is the center of attention once again this offseason as fans eagerly await the decision of where the 41-year-old will sign. Multiple rumors throughout the offseason have hinted at Rodgers landing in Pittsburgh even before his official visit, and there seems to be some truth behind it. Other quarterback-needy teams, such as the Raiders, Giants, and Seahawks, have already addressed this position. Rodgers’s options have seemingly thinned out to the point where the Steelers are the only reasonable landing spot left.
The only quarterbacks currently on the Steelers roster are Skylar Thompson and Mason Rudolph, who is returning to the Steel City after spending a season with the Tennessee Titans. General Manager Omar Khan told reporters at the NFL’s 2025 league meeting that the Steelers will go into training camp with four quarterbacks on their roster, as they usually do. This implies that Rodgers might not be the only quarterback the Steelers look to add in April. The team has reportedly expressed interest in multiple quarterback prospects, including Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe.
While Coach Tomlin added that there isn’t a deadline for Rodgers’s decision, he reportedly had a throwing session with Steelers newly acquired wide receiver DK Metcalf over the weekend. All eyes and ears remain tuned to where the future Hall of Fame quarterback will decide to spend the final years of his career, with all signs currently pointing to Southwest Pennsylvania. Rodgers came back from a ruptured Achilles and totaled over 4,000 total yards and 28 passing touchdowns last season.

With the path to starter status clearing day by day, Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is seeing a rise in draft stock.
The answer to who will be the starting quarterback in Minnesota gets clearer by the day. With the Vikings letting Sam Darnold walk in free agency and holding off from signing Aaron Rodgers, the easy deduction is that J.J. McCarthy will be the starting quarterback in 2025.
In addition to the Vikings letting Darnold and Rodgers come and go from their view, they also didn’t pursue re-signing Daniel Jones with much aggression. This has had an impact on McCarthy’s draft stock on Underdog. Since March 9th, McCarthy has risen 7.5 spots in ADP from QB-23 to QB-22 in round 12.
McCarthy is being selected just behind the Dolphins Tua Tagovailoa and ahead of the Panthers Bryce Young. J.J. McCarthy’s 108.2 athleticism score ranked 2nd in the 2024 quarterback class and is 13th in all time rank from Player Profiler’s pool of 297 quarterbacks. Factor in being able to throw to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson as supporting weapons creates a recipe for mass success in 2025. There is plenty of meat on the bone in round 12 to continue clicking J.J. McCarthy at current cost.

Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants to head to the Los Angeles Rams along with wide receiver Davante Adams.
Aaron Rodgers has stated he wants to play for the Los Angeles Rams and he wants wide receiver Davante Adams to follow him there. After two unsuccessful seasons in New York, the Jets informed the HOF quarterback they are moving on. Rodgers clearly wants to end his career on better terms and he believes he can accomplish that in LA. Rodgers first season with the Jets was short lived as he tore his Achilles four snaps in. He bounced back last season with 3,897 passing yards with 28 TDs and 11 INTs. These are stats that any quarterback would like to have but the team finished with a 5-12 record. Rodgers has always been an enigma whether that is with his world views or his treatment of teammates, that said, there is no doubt he is a Hall of Fame quarterback.
If Rodgers makes his way into Sean McVay’s offense, will he be able to accept the way his head coach wants to play. Towards the end of his years in Green Bay, Rodgers conflicted with then new head coach Matt LaFleur for a couple of seasons before winning multiple MVPs. Rodgers will be 41 years old this season, he doesn’t have multiple seasons to get comfortable with McVay, even though McVay and LaFleur run similar offenses. The question is, do the Rams even want Rodgers? They still have Matthew Stafford under contract at the moment. Rodgers finished as QB-15 in 2024, he could potentially be in the top 10 in LA.
