Steelers’ strategic bid: UFA tender on Aaron Rodgers shifts QB market
The Steelers reportedly applied an unrestricted free-agent tender on Aaron Rodgers, a rare move that would give him about a 10% raise if he accepts and helps Pittsburgh earn compensatory draft-pick credit. It is not a right of first refusal; Rodgers can still sign with any team, but if he moves, Pittsburgh would hold exclusive negotiating rights starting July 22, complicating his path to a new destination and the Steelers’ long‑term plans.
