HOUR 2 - Certainty of Rodgers, Calls, Mike Florio

Steelers reporters are now becoming very certain that Aaron Rodgers will be the Steelers next QB. How much was this part of the plan? How much did the Steelers want to bring back Justin Fields? A brief discussion on where the Giants go from here after they signed Russell Wilson. Who else do you see as options for the Steelers at QB? Caller suggested Kirk Cousins. What is the peak for what the Steelers have? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike reiterated that it’s a ‘safe bet’ that the Steelers end up with Aaron Rodgers, barring a miracle. Mike said this feels like typical Rodgers to keep this going. Mike thinks fans will turn face on Rodgers if he starts winning a lot of games, but it’s not a guarantee it happens. There is a question of how Rodgers will coexist with Mike Tomlin, assuming this move gets made. Mike thinks there is a mutual benefit present between the team and player in this case. How did the deal go down between the Giants and Russell Wilson, and did it have anything to do with Rodgers’ decision? Mike isn’t sure it ends well with Wilson in New York and wondered if the Giants did any homework here. Chris asked Mike about a few rule proposals and why some always get denied.
