Aaron Rodgers' future remains uncertain as the NFL draft approaches, with the Pittsburgh Steelers waiting for a decision. ESPN's Adam Schefter revealed the team's backup plan, targeting quarterback Ty Simpson with the No. 21 overall pick if talks with Rodgers fail.
The Steelers will have big moves to make with the draft, and their pick will partly be dictated by Rodgers' decision. With just eight days left, things still hang in the balance for the Steelers.
Schefter noted that the Steelers wanted Rodgers back 'all along,' but his camp has remained silent on his future. Talks are still ongoing between Rodgers and Mike McCarthy, but Rodgers has not committed to returning.
With Rodgers likely still undecided, the Steelers are preparing for a backup plan, targeting Ty Simpson as the No. 21 pick. However, there are not many top prospect quarterbacks after Ty Simpson, and the Steelers are hoping Rodgers will return.
Shedder believes the Steelers will inevitably go for Ty Simpson if Rodgers decides not to return, as they will not have a veteran QB in their ranks. The situation will prompt them to go for the best they can do in the draft.
