"Aaron Rodgers has been very up front with the Steelers, and he was very up front with the Giants," Schrager said on Thursday's edition of "The Pat McAfee Show." "The Steelers are willing to wait, and I don't think Pittsburgh knows more now than they did before the draft."

Former NFL general manager Doug Whaley questions if Aaron Rodgers wants to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers after they traded George Pickens away. Whaley, in fact, says the four-time MVP should avoid the Steelers entirely. He says what the Steelers have built now does not suit a 41-year-old quarterback that wants to win now.

During an appearance on Thursday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show, ESPN's Peter Schrager reported that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins is a "viable" trade target for the Steelers if their pursuit of Rodgers comes up short.
