NFL free agency is in full swing, and we’ve seen multiple top players make their moves across state lines to sign with new franchises.
Quarterbacks have also been on the move, as we’ve seen Kyler Murray join the Minnesota Vikings after being released by the Arizona Cardinals, and Malik Willis go from the frozen tundra of Green Bay to the sunny beaches of South Beach with the Miami Dolphins.

But first, the Steelers, as they did last year, will wait to see what Rodgers decides.
