NFL insider Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports activities just lately suggested that one cause quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn’t formally re-signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers is that basic supervisor Omar Khan and others related to the franchise might view Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals or Malik Willis of the Green Bay Packers as a possible improve over the 42-year-old.
Throughout the newest version of the “Kaboly + Mack” program, Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly of “The Pat McAfee Present” touched upon the Rodgers saga that may seemingly drag on into March.
Is Aaron Rodgers ready for the Steelers to improve their roster?
“Is he ready to see what’s taking place in free company, or free company and/or buying a large receiver of be aware?” Kaboly stated about Rodgers, per Jeremy Pike of Steelers Depot. “Possibly he is like, ‘Okay, I am . Let’s examine what you may add for me first. You going to convey again [running back Kenneth Gainwell]? You going to get me a stud No. 2 receiver?'”
Curiously, Kaboly shared this tackle the identical day {that a} rumor linked the Steelers with Jacksonville Jaguars vast receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who grew to become the topic of commerce rumors earlier than the continuing NFL scouting mix acquired underway.
Moreover, quite a few members of the soccer neighborhood have said all through the winter that Rodgers may reject the Steelers and as a substitute signal with a Minnesota Vikings facet that has stud receiver Justin Jefferson as its No. 1 goal.
NFL individuals not shopping for the Steelers’ love for Will Howard?
In the meantime, Khan raised some eyebrows when he said throughout the mix that he would not view Rodgers retiring this winter or spring “as a worst-case situation,” partly as a result of the Steelers have 2025 sixth-round draft choose Will Howard on the roster. Throughout a Thursday look on Pittsburgh sports activities radio station 93.7 The Fan, NFL insider Mike Florio of Professional Soccer Discuss addressed what individuals across the league take into consideration the Steelers’ supposed perception in Howard.
“I do know individuals across the league who’ve been skeptical of this declare that they actually need Will Howard, and that (just lately employed head coach) Mike McCarthy actually likes Will Howard,” Florio defined, per Jake Brockhoff of Steelers Depot. “That will be a hell of a coincidence if it simply so occurred that Mike McCarthy will get a job that has a quarterback that he secretly loves, who was a sixth-round choose, who he thinks is gonna grow to be the following Dak Prescott. And once more, there’s all the time gonna be the potential for a component of BS on this sport.”
Howard entered the league as a developmental mission after which took no significant in-game snaps as a rookie. Thus, it is sensible that Khan and McCarthy would need Howard to spend one other season studying whereas Rodgers begins video games.
