The future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers remains a hotly debated topic. As “Pro Football Talk” reports, a first team will now send an offer to the Green Bay Packers.

Munich/Pittsburgh – After the career end of Ben Roethlisberger, the Pittsburgh Steelers have chosen a concrete successor as their franchise quarterback, according to “Pro Football Talk” – Aaron Rodgers!

According to the report, the current NFL MVP’s advisors have already met with Steelers officials several times and informed Rodgers’ side to send a trade offer for the superstar to the Green Bay Packers.

@ProFootballTalk confirms on @937theFan that the Steelers have talked to Aaron Rodgers agent. And that the Rodgers’ representative knows how much the Steelers are willing to pay him. And have told Rodgers people what they’d give up in a trade to get him.

The Steelers boast a positive balance of about $30 million in cap space and have not surrendered a significant draft pick in recent years. So they would have both the financial and draft capital to handle the Rodgers deal.

Green Bay Packers: mega salary possible for Aaron Rodgers

However, his current team hasn’t given up the fight for the 38-year-old either. As NFL insider Ian Rappoport reported a few days ago, the Packers are said to want to persuade Rodgers to change his mind with a record salary.

According to the report, this is a short-term deal, but it should make Rodgers the highest-paid player in the league within a year. So far, that’s Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills at $47 million annually. Rodgers last collected just over 27 million dollars, so he would have to get a salary increase of at least 20 million dollars.
