The ball is reportedly in Aaron Rodgers’s court docket.
Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Submit-Gazette, who reported on Tuesday that the Steelers could pivot back to Russell Wilson if talks with Aaron Rodgers lavatory down over cash, now experiences that Pittsburgh has made a proposal to Rodgers — and that the Steelers are merely waiting for a decision from Rodgers.
It looks as if a matter of semantics, frankly. Until the provide was conveyed on a take-it-or-leave-it foundation, Rodgers may reply with a counteroffer that seeks a sweetened monetary pot.
Regardless, it’s tempting to assume that Rodgers, who not way back was doubtlessly out of choices, has discovered a solution to make all of it about himself. Once more.
Take into account the candid (or staged to look candid) photographs of Rodgers walking on a beach, probably draped in velvet, whereas considering, effectively, one thing. In two weeks, Rodgers has gone from a man who has needed to attain out to the Giants to a man who has choices.
Whether or not he’s doing it on goal or simply doing what he does, he’s change into the middle of the NFL’s consideration, for possibly one final time. We’re targeted on him. We’re speaking about him.
So long as the Steelers don’t transfer on to a different veteran possibility, he can take his time. In some unspecified time in the future, nevertheless, they’ll want a solution.
And, when he provides one, he’ll probably complain about all the consideration that his dealing with of the state of affairs naturally generated.
