Overview
- A Cardinals recruiting nudge on Tuesday came from new wideout Kendrick Bourne, who tagged Rodgers on X and wrote, “Come on we waiting on you.”
- Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur told The Jim Rome Show the team is focused on its current quarterbacks, offering no endorsement of a pursuit of Rodgers.
- ESPN reporter Josh Weinfuss said a team source called the Rodgers-to-Arizona noise “not at all” real, tempering media dot-connecting.
- The Steelers placed a rare unrestricted free-agent tender on Rodgers, which would net draft compensation if he signs elsewhere before July 22 and gives Pittsburgh exclusive negotiating rights after that date or the first day of camp.
- Pittsburgh says it remains in regular contact and expects clarity soon, while Arizona’s unsettled room of Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson Beck has fed speculation without evidence of active talks.
