Report: Aaron Rodgers has 'standing offer' from New York Giants
The New York Giants may be patiently waiting for a decision from veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers but for now, they've done all that they can do.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Rodgers has a "standing offer" from both the Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers while the Minnesota Vikings continue to lurk on the outside.
"I'm told from sources that Rodgers does have standing offers from the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants," Fowler said on SportsCenter, via SNY. "I checked with the source from one of those teams about a timeline for Rodgers. I got back a text with the Webster's dictionary of the word enigma, and so that's kind of the feeling right now.
"Teams are waiting this out, waiting on Rodgers. The feeling is there's not just a money consideration here. There's fit, there's surroundings, all those things. Minnesota Vikings are sort of on the periphery here. Sources there tell me that it's possible they get involved with Rodgers, but the feeling this week has been probably not. They want to develop J.J. McCarthy."
The delay in Rodgers' decision stems from his alleged desire to sign with the Vikings, which he views as a more ideal fit. It has even been reported that the three-time MVP may consider retirement over playing for either the Giants or Steelers.
In the event the Giants whiff on Rodgers as they did with Matthew Stafford, they have met with both Russell Wilson and Joe Flacco, who would represent Option C and Option D, respectively.
