Aaron Rodgers' Steelers Contract Standoff: Draft Day Drama

0:00On April 3, Pittsburgh Steelers fans are buzzing about the 2026 quarterback spot, with Aaron Rogers still the top pick to start, but no contracts locked in yet, and the NFL draft is just weeks out. Charlie Batch, the former Steelers' QB and podcast co-host, keeps saying it's all about the money holding things up, pointing out Rogers may just 13 million last year, way below league standards. ESPN's Adam Schefter shot that down quick, but Batch doubled down on his latest show, insisting Rogers deserves around 30 million a year to match. Other top guys, the free-ager market back some of that, like Malik Willis landing 22 million average with Miami, so of Rogers once top 25 pay, Pittsburgh might have to dig deeper than planned. With trust building in the new era, this cash standoff leaves everyone watching close as draft-day nears, ready for Rogers to ink, or the Steelers to pivot.
