Aaron Rodgers appears to be the Steelers’ last best hope at quarterback, at least in their eyes. After the Vikings publicly declared support for J.J. McCarthy and the Giants signed Russell Wilson, the options on the table for both parties are few. The Steelers brought back Mason Rudolph, but they are not looking for him to start. Rodgers is running out of teams to play for—but there’s a caveat to that, too.
The thing is, Aaron Rodgers doesn’t have to play for the Steelers because he doesn’t have to play at all. And one wonders if that is increasingly becoming a possibility as his options dwindle.
