Aaron Rodgers Holding Out for Bigger Payday

0:00It's March 28. I'm Corey with the story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. Aaron Rodgers has left the Pittsburgh Steelers waiting on his plans for next season. The veteran quarterback, who turns 43 soon, led the team to a 10-and-six record last year as the starter. He threw four, 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions, turning around a struggling offense. Moore Steelers' backup, Charlie Batch, says the hold-up comes down to money. He believes Rodgers outplayed his deal and won't return for $13 million, pushing instead for something near $30 million. Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd agrees, calling $32 million reasonable, given Rodgers impact on fewer turnovers and better red zone play. Expect negotiations to heat up as both sides aim to meet in the middle and keep the quarterback in Pittsburgh.
