The Giants made one move at the quarterback spot by adding Jameis Winston on a two-year deal. That pact does not ensure him a starting role, however, and New York remains in the market for another passer via free agency and/or the first round of the draft.

As a result, the veterans still on the market remain worth monitoring. 2024 Steelers starter Russell Wilson is on the radar of the Giants (along with the Browns), and Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio confirms a deal could be in play sending him to New York. As for Aaron Rodgers, though, the situation is somewhat different.
Florio’s report notes the Giants are still in contention for Rodgers but adds it “seems unlikely” an agreement will be reached. The 41-year-old spent the past two years with the Jets, but as expected his time with the team ended with a post-June 1 release. In the wake of the opening stages of free agency – during which the Jets replaced Rodgers with Justin Fields, leaving the Steelers to pursue a different avenue under center – Rodgers has represented the key domino on the market. A Pittsburgh visit took place on Friday, and no other meetings are planned at this point.
With that said, nothing is considered imminent on the Rodgers front for the Steelers or any other team. The Vikings gave serious thought to signing him, but at this point an offer should not be expected. The Giants have already submitted one to Rodgers, and it is believed to be stronger than the one the Steelers made early in free agency and have not yet altered. New York has roughly $17MM in cap space at the moment, putting the team near the bottom of the league in terms of spending power.
The Steelers, by contrast, have nearly $41MM available. Pittsburgh has reunited with Mason Rudolph at the quarterback spot with Wilson looming as a fallback option should a Rodgers deal not be worked out. The Giants no longer representing a strong suitor for the latter would point even further to the Steelers being his top potential landing spot for 2025.
Not sure. Maybe we should ask them.
“Hey Aaron, thanks for the consideration, we signed a reckless gunslinger – We prefer our chaos on the field”
Best of luck!
If this shocks you, I have beachfront property in Omaha to sell you.
You see vulnerable people and the first thing that comes to your mind is a joke about a felony fraud scheme?
Yes?
First thing that comes to my mind is Rodgers saying he owned the Bears and that they were a clown show. Sad part is he was right. But now revenge is sweet, He are one! LMAO
Can’t wait to not hear about this clown every 24 hours.
Not clicking on articles is difficult isn’t it.
On a website that auto-expands all of their articles unless you are on mobile, yes.
The daily click bait article about AR.
Bump, Bump, Bump, And another one bites the dust……..And another one down and another one down……Bump , Bump, Bump.
The mushrooms that Rodgers is smoking is keeping everyone in the dark
Steelers need to draft a young quarterback and set him up with a running game and let him succeed. Quit wasting time on these washed up qbs
You have to hope Dart or Milroe are there in the third. Otherwise you are looking at next year. The Steelers even with AR will not be bad enough to be at the top of the daft.
