Chris Long would choose New York Giants over Steelers if he were Aaron Rodgers
While Aaron Rodgers sits back and puts the veteran quarterback market on hold, NFL pundits are all over the map when it comes to where his next destination may be.
Rodgers has interest from the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers at the moment but is reportedly holding out for a shot at signing with the Minnesota Vikings.
NFL reporter Adam Schefter recently said that is not likely to happen. The vibe is that Rodgers is more interested in the Vikings than they are in him.
As @tyschmit asks, is the possibility of Aaron Rodgers to the Vikings something or nothing?

A snub by the Vikings would limit Rodgers' choices, one of which could be retirement from football altogether. But he still wants to play.
Former two-time Super Bowl champion Chris Long recently said on his podcast, Green Light with Chris Long, that if he were Rodgers, he'd choose the Giants over the Steelers at this point.
"No offense to the Steelers, but this is not your typical Steelers team," said Long. "They don't have a dominant defense unless it becomes a dominant defense in the offseason here. ... The offense isn't anything that you get excited about, although they've been working on it. You lose (running back) Najee Harris, depending on how you feel about that. (Jaylen) Warren's your guy.
"I'd rather be in New York, I think, because of the division you're in and because of the upside of having a number one receiver."
Not sure if Long realizes that the NFC East isn't the cakewalk it was a few years ago. The Philadelphia Eagles, his former team, are the reigning Super Bowl champs and Washington was the runner up in the NFC last year and is improving by the minute.
Long is right about Malik Nabers. He is a budding superstar who could rise even higher with the right player throwing him the football.
