Steelers Wait on Rodgers, Draft Looms

0:00On April 20th, the Pittsburgh Steelers are still waiting on Aaron Rogers to decide if he's joining the team, and they've made it clear they won in. Answered before the NFL draft kicks off. No hard deadline, but that milestone is right around the corner, putting real pressure on the clock. Mike McCarthy, the offensive coordinator, sounded pretty confident during the league meetings, saying they're in a good spot. He knows his Rogers' personal call at the end of the day, but the vibes feel solid after all they're back and forth talks. Fans and insiders are buzzing because Rogers is such a wild card, you just never know with him. If he passes, the backup plan is Will Howard stepping up to compete with Mason Rudolph and whatever rookie they grab in the draft. Right now, voluntary minicamp is about to start, and Howard's likely getting those first team reps to prep either way. Conversations keep flowing between Rogers and the Steelers, keeping hopes alive. With the drafts days out, all eyes are on where Rogers drops next. Could be the spark that lights up Pittsburgh season.
