- Wilson played with the Steelers on a one-year, $1.21 million contract in 2024 while still owed $37.79 million from the Denver Broncos. He said after the season that he wants to play “as long as possible,” reiterating a statement he made in November that he wants to play 5-7 more years.
- J.J. McCarthy is the presumed starting quarterback for the 2025 Minnesota Vikings, but the specter of Aaron Rodgers remains out there with the veteran signal-caller still unsigned. The Vikings have touched base with Rodgers’ camp, but head coach Kevin O’Connell has yet to announce who will take the first snap in Week 1.
- McCarthy, the Vikings’ 2024 first-round draft pick who missed all of last season due to a knee injury, appeared on the “Up and Adams” show Tuesday and was asked by host Kay Adams if he’s been informed that he is the team’s No. 1 quarterback heading into next season.

- Most of NFL free agency is, practically speaking, done. It has been done for more than a week.
- There are some veteran receivers still deciding on their next team and a few other veterans who can contribute, but there’s not much left among the top free agents. Teams executed their plans, players signed and most of the league is on to draft preparation.
- And then there’s Aaron Rodgers.
- Rodgers is taking his time making a decision. That gets more curious or obnoxious, depending on your perspective, because he doesn’t have many options left.
- But there are still teams and players that need to hear what Rodgers’ decision is before mapping out their next moves. And there hasn’t been much indication of what Rodgers will do. Like it or not though, it’s not like a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers has a lot of choice but to wait.

- The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac reports that Aaron Rodgers is at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ facility, but that is not an indication a deal is close or coming.
- Tom Pelissero of NFL Network says that Rodgers is just meeting with coaches as he contemplates his next stop.
- Rodgers’ landing spots are dwindling with Wednesday’s news that the Minnesota Vikings are all-in on J.J. McCarthy for next season. That would leave the Steelers, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans as potential destinations as those are teams who are seeking help at quarterback.
