Aaron Rodgers seems to be on track to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but suddenly, the Saints need a quarterback after Derek Carrās possible shoulder injury. Despite this situation, a report from Ian Rapoport mentions that New Orleans is not an option for the veteran.
āAaron Rodgers is the best quarterback available. I think everyone assumes heās going to Pittsburgh. He hasnāt made a decision. I think Pittsburgh is a better team. I would imagine the Saints would look at him, but then I also think like, you know, how willing would he really be to go there (New Orleans) knowing where kind of the roster is, which is I donāt think in a bad place, but probably not where the Steelers are.ā
For several weeks, since the Jets confirmed they were going to release him, Rodgers has been patiently waiting for the best opportunity to win the Super Bowl. Thatās why he showed interest in the Rams and Vikings. Now, with the Steelers as his only option, what could change his plans is exactly the injury of a starting quarterback elsewhere.
Is Aaron Rodgers retiring from football?
Aaron Rodgers is not retiring from football, according to several reports. The delay in his decision is precisely because heās analyzing the best option for his future, considering that, now, this will be his last dance.
Nevertheless, one thing Rodgers must weigh is that the delay could ultimately result in no team signing him, forcing him to retire even though that may not be the decision heās contemplating. For this reason, Aaron needs to be very careful, as the passage of time could end up costing him dearly.
