I see the Steelers are continuing to fortify their mid status in the league with a plethora of mid moves. Hopefully Rodgers is next

I think I'm missing something... is Green Bay some sort of fuzzy area of my brain? Why do I not know this QB's name? How could I not know a guy who just got 3 year/$67.5M with $45M fully guaranteed??

He was Jordan Love's backup the last couple of years, after the Titans wasted him,

Showed some decent ability, tbh.

From what I read somewhere, the Giants and he were close but it fell apart and the Pats swooped in. So I don't think you got duped so much as not all the details were finalized when it got reported.
