HC Sean McVay confirms Steelers' Aaron Rodgers could have signed with Rams
HC Sean McVay confirms Steelers' Aaron Rodgers could have signed with Rams Early offseason Aaron Rodgers to the Rams rumors have begun to resurface — and HC Sean McVay set the record straight. On Wednesday, Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt asked McVay to clarify what really happened between the Rams and Rodgers this offseason — and this was his response: "I think our first priority, which was consistently communicated, was let's work something out with Matthew [Stafford]. We were very fortunate that it worked out that way. If that wasn't able to occur, then [signing Rodgers] was definitely a conversation and a possibility for us," McVay admitted. "I have a ton of respect for his body of work. I've gotten to know Aaron and really enjoy the conversations — the approach and the way he thinks about the game and in life. So, that was a possibility, but our first priority was always to get Matthew back." Pittsburgh was considered a major favorite to land Stafford when trade speculation surrounding the Rams QB ran rampant — before he ultimately signed a massive extension to remain in Los Angeles. It's crazy to imagine that there exists a possibility where Rodgers potentially signed with the Rams — and the Steelers may have been able to land Stafford.

Russell Wilson Isn't the Future of New York Giants, But He's Helping Build It
Russell Wilson Isn't the Future of New York Giants, But He's Helping Build It originally appeared on Athlon Sports. New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson understands he's not the future of the organization—and at this point in his career, he is focused on being the best leader he can be for the team. Advertisement New York signed the 36-year-old signal caller to a one-year deal worth up to $21 million with $10.5 million guaranteed, and he is expected to be the No. 1 quarterback on the depth chart when the regular season begins. However, the Giants selected Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart with the 25th overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft—giving the Giants a potential future franchise quarterback. 'Jaxson's been great, man,' Wilson said. 'He's a great worker, great teammate. We're having fun, all of us. We have a really good quarterback room. Guys are so focused and working diligently every day. He's going to be an extremely, extremely good talent and everything else throughout his career.' The Giants are wisely allowing Dart to properly develop before handing him the keys to the offense. Dart will also have the opportunity to learn from a Super Bowl champion quarterback in Wilson. Advertisement 'I always share and I always think about communication,' Wilson said. 'I'm a big believer in communicating out loud, just, 'Here's what I'm thinking, here's what I'm saying.' You don't hold any information. I think that for us, it's always about us being the best that we can all be. 'And I think for me, when you have tremendous confidence in yourself, you have no problem sharing it with others. I think that's just how I've always believed.' Wilson's approach to mentoring Dart reflects maturity and professionalism—a testament to the type of leader he is. Wilson may not be the future of the franchise, but he is proving to be an invaluable part of the New York Giants' present.

New York Giants' QB Competition Quietly Intensifies
New York Giants' QB Competition Quietly Intensifies originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Giants have an imperfect yet intriguing quarterback situation in their building. New York's quarterback room consists of Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson, veteran gunslinger Jameis Winston, third-year quarterback Tommy DeVito, and rookie first-round draft pick Jaxson Dart. Advertisement Throughout the offseason, general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll have insisted Wilson will enter training camp as the team's starting quarterback. Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News suggested Wilson's recent underwhelming performance in OTAs could open the door to a competition for the team's starting quarterback job. 'So far this spring, with Wilson at quarterback, the Giants' first-team defense has looked like a much better unit than the offense," Leonard wrote. "...The Giants offense's operation with Wilson has not been smooth or consistently productive or explosive in any of the open practice sessions yet. And that's coming off a season when they ranked 30th in the NFL, scoring 16.1 points per game, having altered almost no personnel from that unit other than the QBs." While the Giants are expected to let Dart develop as a backup to start his career, Winston has thrown his hat into the ring to compete for the starting quarterback job. Advertisement Winston is a fearless quarterback who's always looking for the next big play on the field. Sometimes it leads to six points—other times, it's a pick-six. But if Daboll is building an offense that thrives on explosive plays, it might be hard to keep Winston off the field once the regular season begins.
