    100% AGREE. But that is what I have been told is the asking price for Aaron Rodgers, and I think Russ is also wanting a 3 year deal as well.

    Right now, I don't think Rodgers or Wilson want a 1 year contract.

    Rodgers may not make a decision until camp starts somewhere maybe even later

    Good point. That way if he takes another trip to Egypt during mandatory OTCs he won't have to answer for it on McAfee's show.

    Nope. See Roethlisberger/ Haley. How'd that work out? Hint: Roethlisberger threatened to retire.

    Rodgers is 41 years old I doubt he wants to play another 3 years.

    The good thing about that situation is let Mason start the season and after a 2-7 start then switch to Dart, Cook or whoever the rookie is. If he plays well the last 8 games then good you have your starter for 2026. If the rookie bombs then that's OK too because you then a get a very high first round pick and can draft your next franchise QB then.

    Go with Mason, draft Dart and let him watch and learn.

    Dart has had an excellent post season. He was the MVP of the Gator Bowl throwing over 400 yards and 5 TD's. He had a very good week at the Senior Bowl and had an outstanding combine. Add in the fact that he is still only 21 years old gives him the most upside of this years QB draft.

    I really don't want the Steelers to spend a 1st round pick on a QB this year..


    Last year Mason had 5 starts and threw 9 Ints and 9 TDs. You think this is NFL starter material???

    Mason is serviceable in a Mike Tomczak kind of way but that's about it ... definitely not the future.

    This is supposedly every pass and run by Milton in Week 18 vs. Buffalo (which was sitting many starters). There’s reason to be intrigued for sure, but I don’t think he’s any more polished than many of the incoming draft class. He does have more natural ability than most or all of them though. I agree with you that there’s no real reason for the Pats to trade him this year unless they get an offer they can’t refuse.

    Looks like Tomlin ready to ride or die with the Rudolph.

    Anyone but Rodgers and Wilson and let the chips fall where they may, hopefully with a top 5 pick in '26.

    I think Maye will be the next big sensation in this league from what I saw from him last year. NE’s line was ranked dead last and Maye made big play after big play.

    So while they don’t need to trade Milton, they also likely won’t need him baring an injury and he is also still unproven. Not sure how much they will be able to squeeze out of a team looking to acquire him. I wouldnt give up more than a 5th.

    Sounds about right. A fifth in 2026 would be even better.

    Also, he might wait until a team needs a qb later in season due to injuries, esp if it is a potential Super Bowl team

    The Broncos get a $32 mil dead money cap hit this year for Wilson. They must have really, really wanted to dump him.

    I’m hearing a lot of noise around the Steelers taxing J Dart at #21

    Will never happen...... That 'never had a losing season' has become its own juggernaut imo..... They will aim for 9 wins no matter what

    Im fine with Wilson coming back on a 1 or 2 year deal that doesnt handicap the team too much. Just to fill out the Qb room with a veteran that knows our system. And we have a capable backup. Just hold off on drafting a Qb till 26. Get a D Lineman and a CB to pair with JPJ.
