Colin Cowherd defends Aaron Rodgers in Steelers contact hold up.
Sports personality Colin Cowher thinks Aaron Rodgers is doing right by holding out with the Steelers and not signing a contract yet.
With just four days until the 2026 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers are still in limbo at the quarterback position. According to multiple reports, Rodgers will not make a decision about his future with the Steelers prior to the start of the draft. This is the second-straight offseason the Steelers and Rodgers have done this song and dance despite assurances from team President Art Rooney II that this would already be settled.
From the outside looking in, this feels like Rodgers is holding the Steelers hostage, likely for a massive raise over last season's salary. The fact that Pittsburgh made no effort to sign a quarterback in free agency tells us they are now at his mercy and sports analyst Colin Cowherd thinks is the right move for Rodgers. "I don't blame Aaron Rodgers.
I blame what happened to Kirk Cousins... The smart play for Aaron Rodgers is to hold the leverage. Show up, sign after the draft.
