๐Ÿˆ Jeremy Fowler of ESPN believes Kirk Cousins is on the Steelers radar.

โ€œI had some conversations with people this week that led me to believe that Cousins is, at the very least, on the Steelersโ€™ radar if something were to fall through on Rodgers,โ€ Fowler said. โ€œCousins has $37.5 million in guarantees between this year and next year. Somebodyโ€™s on the hook for that money, whether itโ€™s $4 million, $20 million, whatever it is. But the feeling around the league is that Atlanta has not been willing to budge on this. They havenโ€™t shown a lot of interest in trading Cousins. It would take a hefty price tag for another team to wiggle that out.โ€

๐Ÿˆ Colin Cowherd of FS1 thinks Aaron Rodgers doesnโ€™t believe the Steelers are a good fit.

โ€œThe Steelers are a shaky fit, and Aaron knows it,โ€ Cowherd said on The Herd. โ€œHe doesnโ€™t wanna offend Mike Tomlin. It may be, if he wants to play, his best spot. But they canโ€™t figure out offense. Iโ€™ve gone over this a million times. Theyโ€™re tone deaf to offense. I think theyโ€™re now making moves...
