The NFL has set up for an Aaron Rodgers grudge match between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets. The only question now is if Rodgers will be involved.
Mike North, the NFL's vice president of broadcast planning and scheduling, confirmed Thursday that the league's schedule-makers had been influenced by the widespread expectation that Rodgers will eventually sign with the Steelers, per ESPN's Brooke Pryor. However, he denied his office had any inside information about a deal.
From ESPN:
"We don't know anything more than anybody else," North said on a conference call.
