Steelers Wait on Rodgers, Eye Beck in Draft

0:00It's April 6, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. The Pittsburgh Steelers are kicking off the Mike McCarthy era with a super bowl-winning coach at the helm, but they're stuck in quarterback Limbo, waiting on 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers to decide his future. Rodgers bought out last season and is one year with the team, throwing for 3,322 yards and 24 touchdowns. While leading them to a 10-and-7 record and the AFC North Crown, fans and analysts are getting restless, with former NFL Network Guy, Dave Dameshack blasting the Steelers as the Steelers for hanging on every word. From the vet who's been radio silent for three months despite regular chats with McCarthy, if Rodgers retires or chases that $30 million raise in bounces, the team eyes Miami's Carson Beck in the upcoming draft at their 21st overall pick, a guy with six college seasons, 43 starts and a sharp 72.4 completion percentage last year.

1:01With backups like rookie Will Howard and Mason Rudolph not cutting it as starters and free agency dried up, the Steelers might pivot to Beck to lock. Down the position before training camp heats up.
