The Aaron Rodgers free agency saga is continuing to hold up the NFL offseason as teams keep vying for his services.
Multiple teams still need a quarterback, and Rodgers is the top option on the market currently despite being 41 years old.

The Vikings were a strong suitor, but reports have indicated they are set to move on with J.J. McCarthy under center in 2025.
Any team looking for a new quarterback who is contending and wants to win now could use Rodgers on their team. That includes the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants.
The Giants also seem to be an option but are much less likely given they are a rebuilding team just looking to approach a winning season.
The Steelers are patiently waiting and could stop waiting soon. The frustrations from the team were commented on by Cam Heyward, who said, "Either you want to be a Steeler or you don't. It's simple. That's the pitch."
However, all of that could go out the window based on the latest update from Adam Schefter.
Rodgers is taking his time, and according to Shefter, he "is in no rush at all." Rodgers playing the waiting game could turn many more NFL teams off from waiting around.
On the contrary, the teams mentioned earlier are so desperate for a quarterback, that they may have no choice but to wait for the veteran to make a final decision.
The Giants really want Rodgers, but they aren't on the radar for him given they just aren't good enough to compete.
The Steelers feel like the sweet spot in the middle, where they are good enough for Rodgers to join and make an impact and both sides have mutual interest.
The longer Rodgers takes to sign with a team though, the more likely teams interested are to move on.
Other reports have suggested he may retire, which seems more like a possibility as the offseason progresses.
The current starter for the Steelers is Mason Rudolph, but that seems unlikely to stick, whether through the draft or a different veteran.
The Giants' most likely alternatives seem to be Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston along with a rookie at pick no. 3.
The more reports released on the Aaron Rodgers situation, the more unclear what will happen seems to be. The only things known for sure are the teams that are interested, and Rodgers will take his time to make a final decision.
