Aaron Rodgers Driving Steelers and Giants Fans Insane with Wait

Aaron Rodgers is doing what Aaron Rodgers does best, drive up the media attention, and make people wait for a decision.

After his release from the New York Jets became official at 4:00 this afternoon, the waiting game over where Rodgers' would land next only intensified.

We've heard for days it would be the Giants, or the Steelers, or the Vikings. And still we have no answer.

The only thing we have gotten from Rodgers is this cryptic photo of him walking on the beach in a blanket with earbuds on.

There were even reports late Wednesday afternoon that Rodgers is also contemplating retirement.

Both the Giants and Steelers reportedly have offers on the table for the four-time MVP, who apparently is going back into darkness to figure things out.

Welcome to the Rodgers experience, Giants and Steelers fans.

And now you know why many Jets fans couldn't wait to dump the 41-year old future Hall of Famer for Justin Fields.

There is no telling how long Rodgers is going to make these teams wait, but it certainly isn't fair. Quarterbacks in the secondary market are coming off the board. And Russell Wilson is scheduled to meet with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday before flying to New York on Friday to meet with the Giants.

If the Browns are smart, they wouldn't let Wilson leave the building, which would put both the Steelers and Giants in the ultimate panic mode.

Imagine being the Steelers who just acquired DK Metcalf, and losing out on Wilson, Fields and having no call from Aaron Rodgers?

How about the Giants? Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen are on the hot seat, and now they have to deal with this!

If the Giants are smart, they wash their hands of the Aaron Rodgers fiasco before it gets really out of hand, and sign someone, anyone at this point. Sign Joe Flacco! At least he's a capable veteran with a Super Bowl ring who has no ego!

Sign Jamies Winston -- at least he's entertaining, even if he throws at ton of picks.

Do anything to position yourself to draft either Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders. Anything is better than waiting for Aaron Rodgers.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now. The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia. Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action. On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI. Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper. New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance" that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end. While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second? Why it Makes Sense: Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas. The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November. Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...
