CB Isaiah Rodgers off the board
Former Eagles CB Isaiah Rodgers reached agreement on a 2-year $15 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings. The deal includes $8M fully guaranteed. The deal was negotiated by Bryan Gavin and Ed Wasielewski of EMG Sports.

The Giants were interested in Rodgers, but landed one of the best cornerbacks in free agency in Paulson Adebo.

A QB comes off the board
Rodgers to Steelers?
That would be a big domino in the quarterback market.
If true, this could be good news for the Giants.
I have been on the Paulson Adebo train for a while. Young, up-and-coming cornerback. Fits where the Giants are.
Nice deal for ex-Giant offensive lineman
In my view, the Giants never should have let Ben Bredeson leave last offseason.
As of Sunday evening, the Giants were waiting on Aaron Rodgers, per sources. He was assessing all his options with the negotiating window set to open today at noon.
Rodgers is expected to talk with the Seahawks and the Steelers are also an option.

Another suitor for Sam Darnold?
The Steelers are expected to make an offer to pending free agent Sam Darnold, per source.
Many around the league believe Darnold will wind up in Seattle, but Pittsburgh is doing its due diligence on any potential options ahead of the new league year.

After speaking to people around the league, the Aaron Rodgers thing hardly seems like a slam dunk at this point. The Giants are not the most desirable situation.

Justin Fields headed to free agency?
The Pittsburgh Steelers and QB Justin Fields are not close to a deal that would bring Fields back to Pittsburgh before the start of free agency, leading to growing sentiment that he will test the market.

The negotiating window has not started, but there are already things going on that could impact the Giants.
Kirk Cousins wants trade, might not get one
Sources: QB Kirk Cousins asked for, and got, a meeting with Falcons owner Arthur Blank on his future. Blank and Cousins had that meeting Wednesday night—the QB wants to go to a place where he can start in 2025.
The Falcons brass has said it’d do what’s best for the team at QB.

Sam Darnold to Seattle?
Sources: The #Seahawks, after trading Geno Smith to the #Raiders, have shifted their primary focus to Sam Darnold. He is their No. 1 option, and there is mutual interest on his behalf as well.
It is highly unlikely that Darnold returns to the #Vikings, according to multiple… pic.twitter.com/otbTOj3hTh
