Florio: Aaron Rodgers Is Taking ‘One Final Time To Make It All About Me’

Earlier studies steered that the Pittsburgh Steelers may need selected their quarterback by the top of final week. That’s why it felt so stunning on Tuesday and Wednesday when the Steelers nonetheless had no reply on the place. Now, as we dig deeper into Thursday, there’s nonetheless no reply, and issues are beginning to get slightly bit determined. NFL insider Mike Florio thinks that is one other instance of Aaron Rodgers taking a second to bask within the highlight.

“And now the crew [Steelers] that ought to have wished him [Rodgers] all alongside has made him a proposal, and he’s gonna take a while to consider it?” Florio stated Thursday on Professional Soccer Discuss. “Get the hell outta right here with that. Both take it or don’t. That is, ‘I obtained one final time to make all of it about me.’ He’s the focus, and he’s gonna make the most of it.”

The vibe Florio is giving right here is just like that of many Steelers followers now. Clearly, making an enormous profession determination like it will take time. Nonetheless, the quarterback carousel began to spin a couple of week in the past when Geno Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. For Rodgers, his almost definitely locations have all the time been the Steelers and the New York Giants. The Vikings have just lately emerged as a possible third contender. Nonetheless, followers are pissed off with the maintain up. Particularly since Rodgers has had loads of time to ponder about his subsequent vacation spot.

After shedding Justin Fields and never making a robust try at Sam Darnold, the Steelers have put themselves in an unfavorable place. They’re subsequent in line for the Aaron Rodgers roller-coaster, however they may already be getting a style of it now. Rodgers is great when he’s taking part in effectively. Nonetheless, there’s all the time the additional stuff that comes with him.

A part of that features paparazzi photographs on the seaside, as he decides on his future.

Talking of quarterback information, it’s value mentioning that the Steelers simply introduced again Mason Rudolph. Proper now, it feels extra seemingly that Rudolph is the backup in 2025. However given how the offseason has gone for Pittsburgh, who even is aware of at this level.

The Steelers actually have no person accountable however themselves. They’ve put themselves ready the place they’ve to attend on a 41-year-old quarterback coming off an Achilles harm to make his determination whereas he walks throughout the seaside with headphones in his ear, and a blanket over him like a cape. Issues may work out in the long run, and Rodgers may have a terrific 12 months in Pittsburgh if signed. It doesn’t seem to be the Steelers have a lot of a alternative anyway.
