Pretty surprising as he's not that old. There did seem to be some real ambiguity about his injury. Seems like a trend where more NFL guys are retiring younger that prior eras.

he got something like $194m for 1 playoff win... definitely doesn't need the money. retiring still messes with his team's cap though

Report I read was that while he gets to keep his signing bonus, his salary is voided. Are they allowed to spread his SB over the remaining term of his (now void?) contract or does it all accelerate into this year?

Purdy got his extension. He’s making the $$$$$$$$ now.

SF finally gave him his deal. I am skeptical he is worth that massive contract as he struggled more last year than his rookie year. Enormous raise for him for sure. Kid is likeable and hope he plays well except against Washington.

SF was hit hard with injuries last year, tough to blame Purdy for taking a step back

You could see it on his and the GM's face. Neither were happy at all. That was 100% Haslem's pick.

Agree. They were clearly unhappy. An even more unhappy response may be Quinn Ewers getting drafted by Miami. Clearly frustrated. Imagine it was due to the 7th round, but it was pretty bad.

Aaron finally made up his mind. He’s coming to Pittsburgh tomorrow to sign a one year deal and will participate in minicamp.

I'm kinda surprised that Steelers is willing to wait on Rodgers, only to be in the same position next year - not being in a position to draft a highly-rated rookie QB or sign a legit QB.

Agree. I think he'll actually do well there. Call me crazy, but I have a a feeling it'll work out better then people think. I was very impressed with Pitt's physicality when they played us last year. Pickens was a problem, and now we have to deal with him on Dallas.

They aren't going to make it the Packers like the Jets did. He will play QB and work with who ever is there. No trading for this buddy or that one like the Jets did.

I can’t stand that diva. I hope the Ravens D breaks him to bits week 1.

Agree. ESPN was saying this morning Jets had trouble pass blocking for him with their oline some. Think he'll do well if he has time to throw. Interested to see how he works with Metcalf who is an absolute beast.
