The Steelers’ meeting with Aaron Rodgers ended about a half-hour ago. He spent time with GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and OC Arthur Smith. No deal, but there was no expectation that would happen today. The sides will keep talking.

The Chargers are signing former Jets TE Tyler Conklin to a one-year deal, per his agent Mike McCartney. A new weapon for Justin Herbert

First, I think Aaron Rodgers is an attention whore.  Secondly, I think the deal has been worked out, but he is using this leverage to step into the GM role--probably insisting on players he wants, etc.  This is about the institution of Rodgers--not the Steelers.  I would tell Rodgers "thanks but no thanks" and move on. 

The interesting team right now is the Giants.  Obviously, Mr. Ws is not the answer--when JW starts throwing footballs to the other team in NY, it will not end well for him. I would rather have Flacco. If the Browns decide to take Sanders, the Giants are in a weird place.  Think this way--their coach and GM could be on their last legs--should be. They needed a qb to save the day--unfortunately, that QB is a diva 41-year old looking for another farewell tour to celebrate his greatness.  What do they do now?  I was surprised they did not go after Cousins--and maybe they did.  Regardless, if they are left as the bride's maid, they will have a player by the name of Abdul Carter from Penn State on the board at #3--Atlanta needs an Edge.  I would work out a deal where the Giants drop to 15 and Atlanta moves up to 3.  The Falcons have to eat some of Cousins' contract.  NY would then take a DL or OL, and maybe a QB on day 2.

I personally think the giants will have a new staff following this season.

They are lucky to be there this year.  I really like their coach; their GM Schoen has made some bad moves.   They way he is getting played by Rodgers right now suggests weakness.  I would tell Rodgers, "Take it or leave it." and move on.

Makes no sense why they're still there.

The only way it does is if they're not happy with the QB prospects this year and are looking to next. New coach, new QB.

that makes sense, but I hate it for Daboll because Schoen has not done a good job and they have had a lot of bad luck.

Schoen reminds me of Matt Rhule as a GM. Throw poo at the wall and see what sticks and when it doesn't play dumb.

It’s really odd that we made a big push to trade for Metcalf  and have not made any attempt to sign anyone else

I think we were seriously trying for Tee but weren’t willing to make a reckless offer which the Bengals wanted. Tee and DK are legit everyone else this FA is meh. I really think Tmac is the pick at 8

Anyone with functioning brain cells knew Tee Higgins wasn't going anywhere for less than a haul. If we were actually pursuing him it shows we haven't learned and it also shows the FO knows full well they suck balls at drafting.
