HOUR 3 - Rodgers & Steelers 'status quo', Ryan Wilson, Debrief

After the recent developments with the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers, a few insiders are claiming that nothing has changed and it’s still ‘status quo’ for the front office’s dealings with the QB. Mark Kaboly thinks the Steelers will hear ‘definitively’ in the next few weeks about Aaron’s intentions. The Steelers reportedly told Rodgers they were going to lay down the UFA tender. A new wrinkle is that they can rip up the $15M price tag, a small raise from last season, and give him more money once he signs. Again, the guys ask, if they were so sure this was happening, why did they do this? NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson from CBS Sports joined the show. Ryan loves the Germie Bernard pick for the Steelers and believes he can become a favorite weapon to whomever is QB in Pittsburgh. Ryan doesn’t want to throw Drew Allar under the bus again, but thought the 3rd round was a little rich for him. Ryan actually ‘loves’ a lot of the Steelers draft. Ryan raved about Eli Heidenreich in the 7th round and isn’t totally against the Kaden Wetjen pick in the 4th. Ryan said Riley Nowakowski can easily replace Connor Heyward, and even give you better football. Can the Steelers successfully turn Gennings Dunker into a guard after playing mostly tackle at Iowa? Right now, Ryan thinks 4-5 QBs go in the 1st round in the 2027 NFL Draft. He added that the Steelers may finally have a top 10 pick.
