- Steelers use rare contract tool on Aaron Rodgers, suggesting concern he's exploring options elsewhere
The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on Aaron Rodgers, allowing them to match any offer he receives or retain exclusive rights if he remains unsigned by July 22. Rodgers could accept a 10% raise to $15 million, but speculation suggests the Steelers may fear he is exploring other teams. Rodgers has not yet signed with Pittsburgh, delaying his decision compared to last year.
