Aaron Rodgers could leave the Pittsburgh Steelers hanging, according to a recent report from Aditi Kinkhabwala. The information points out that the quarterback only wants to sign with a championship contender, and that could make him hesitant about Mike Tomlinâs team.
âItâs extremely clear Rodgers is not going to play just for the sake of playing. Aaron Rodgers is more likely to retire than sign with a team thatâs not a Super Bowl contender.â
At the moment, the Steelers are not seen as Super Bowl contenders, and that strengthens the theory that Rodgers actually wants to wait and see if the Minnesota Vikings open the door for him, in case J.J. McCarthy doesnât look good during training camp.
Is Aaron Rodgers retiring?
Aaron Rodgers could retire if the available teams donât meet his expectations to seriously compete for a Super Bowl. As of now, with less than a week to go before the draft, the only real options on the table are the Steelers and the Saints.
Pittsburgh hasnât won a championship in 16 years and has several holes, especially on the offensive and defensive lines. On the other hand, New Orleans has just emerged as an option due to Derek Carrâs injury, but they donât look like contenders in the NFC either.
