🏈 Adam Schefter of ESPN thinks Aaron Rodgers still has the Vikings on his mind.
“I do think he’s been waiting in the back of his mind for Minnesota,” Schefter said on ESPN Milwaukee.
🏈 New Steelers cornerback Darius Slay said he is going to get Joey Porter Jr. right at CB.
“I’m gonna make sure to get him right,” Slay said on his Big Play Slay podcast. “I told him, I watched him, he does that cinch in-step where he gets it in. Now, he’s just gotta work on being better down the field. I watched his film, they were calling him for a lot of aggressiveness down there with the pass interference. I’m gonna tell him, ‘You beat him at the line. Just cut him off and now you’re the receiver. Go get the ball now.’”
🏈 Former Steelers wide receiver Miles Boykin signed a one-year contract with his hometown Chicago Bears.

🏈 WPXI: On Tuesday, the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers and VisitPittsburgh announced the launch of the Source Program.

🏈 Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk heard from a high-level NFL executive that Aaron Rodgers is waiting on Minnesota.
“I had somebody suggest to me yesterday, and I’m just sharing what I heard, what the person’s opinion is. It’s not a fact; it’s not a report. But it’s somebody who is in the ecosystem and isn’t a low-level employee. This is a high-level person with one of the teams. The opinion is he doesn’t really want to play for the Steelers, and he’s waiting for Minnesota,” Florio said on his podcast.
