The Pittsburgh Steelers remain the leading candidate to sign Aaron Rodgers, according to a report by Jeremy Fowler. Although he did not sign a contract during his visit to the city, Mike Tomlin’s team appears to have an edge over the Giants.

“He had a good meeting on Friday with the Steelers. They’ve already made a standing offer out to him. He is their number one choice as it stands. The Giants have not given up on Aaron Rodgers even though they signed Jameis Winston, but, it looks like the Steelers are in pole position to potentially get this done.”

It is important to remember that, for now, the Minnesota Vikings have informed the Super Bowl champion quarterback that they are not interested in signing him, as their priority is developing J.J. McCarthy.

What will be the next team of Aaron Rodgers?

The Pittsburgh Steelers would be Aaron Rodgers’ next team, although, according to multiple reports, the final decision is still not close to being confirmed, as the quarterback wants to take all the time he needs to evaluate his options.

The reality is that, for now, Rodgers only has the Steelers and Giants as options. However, his riskiest bet could be waiting until after the draft, training camp, and preseason so that, if the Vikings are not confident in J.J. McCarthy, he could get an opportunity with a championship-caliber roster.
