Jones to the Colts - Rodgers is coming back to the division I think.

If so, the Steelers gotta run it back with Russ. Yikes.

I mean, it’s not like he had a bad season for a washed up pro bowler. He only played 11 games.

Was on par for 3,835 yards, 24 passing touchdowns, 7 interceptions, and 3 rushing touchdowns.

98.27 QB rating. Again, nothing that screams MVP numbers but not like it was Craig Hutchinson out there. It’s not like he was turning the ball over constantly and hurting the team. I still would have moved on but it’s not like they can’t win with those numbers from Russell, with better players around him and a better defense.

Either way, glad our QB is not washed up and still has a high ceiling.

I just want to see what Fields can do with competent coaching, Good Oline, and weapons. He didn’t have these things in Chicago as noted with Nagy and the ln Eberflus.

I think he can succeed.

You implied a fabrication. I was correcting it.

No dumbass. I said the Steelers get embarrassed every year in the playoffs and you somehow turned it into the 2010 Bears got embarrassed in the playoffs. Not sure how you misinterpreted it but you did!

You’re going to insist the Steelers wanted him no matter how much evidence piles up indicating otherwise.

I think the Steelers are going with plan W.

Draft a RB or two and run the wildcat all game every game.

10-7.

EDIT: quoted the wrong post, meant the one you were replying to.

Fowler: What's the current market for Wilson?​

While some of the top free agent QB names have established their 2025 addresses, Russell Wilson is an intriguing name whose case still carries some mystery. Those I've talked to still believe he's a viable option with the Giants, and that there's a reasonable chance he ends up back with the Steelers. Though Wilson is 36 and does not come off a vintage year, he did put up decent numbers (16 TD, 5 INT) for a playoff team and many around the league believe you can still win with him. All the available quarterbacks, including Wilson, are waiting on the Aaron Rodgers domino to fall. When it does, Wilson's situation will become clearer. -- Jeremy Fowler, national NFL reporter

Graziano: Why hasn't Rodgers been released yet? And where he could sign?​

nyj.png
While we await a decision from quarterback Aaron Rodgers on where he’ll play next, it’s worth noting he’s still under contract with the New York Jets and will be until 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday. That’s because the Jets plan to release Rodgers with a post-June 1 designation, and the collective bargaining agreement states that a team must wait until “on or after the first day of that league year” to release someone with a post-June 1 designation.

The Jets could have cut Rodgers weeks ago, but that would have meant $49 million in dead salary cap charges accelerating onto their 2025 cap as a result of the prorated signing bonus amounts remaining on his contract. By designating him as a post-June 1 cut, the Jets can spread that $49 million hit out over two years, taking $14 million in dead-money charges this year and the remaining $35 million on their 2026 cap. The Jets must continue to carry his $23.5 million 2025 cap charge until June 2 as though he were still on the roster, even though he’ll be free to sign with any team he wants before then. And on June 2, the Jets will then get their $9.5 million in cap savings ($23.5 million minus the $14 million dead-money charge).

As for where Rodgers will end up -- as of Tuesday morning, it was still between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. There are people around the league who believe Rodgers is still holding out at least some hope that the Minnesota Vikings might turn to him as their veteran “bridge” option after losing Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones in free agency. Indications out of Minnesota, however, continue to be that the Vikings aren’t likely to go down that road for fear of impeding J.J. McCarthy’s path to the starting job once he’s ready. -- Dan Graziano, national NFL reporter
