00:00buy or sell aaron rogers will be back as the steelers quarterback next season
00:05this is tough all right i do believe part of the reason why mccarthy was hired was because
00:12that that's the only chance that pittsburgh had of retaining rogers uh it's not that they're
00:16dying for rogers but if you don't have him who do you have are you gonna be drafting for 20 so
00:20you're not gonna do uh be able to draft the quarterback it's not one you totally rely on
00:24and you tried that a few years ago pick it anyway right and it didn't work out for you so uh are you
00:29going to the free agent route and find somebody to trade for cousins or whatever it might be
00:32you know so yeah uh i think there's a pretty good chance here i don't feel great about it mind you
00:37because we don't know what rogers is going to do maybe he is done right it was the playoffs were
00:41kind of ugly right he was terrible against houston you know and solid against baltimore there so uh
00:46i kind of lean yes because he still can play not not well anymore not whole nowhere near hall of
00:52fame rogers anymore but yeah i think part of this is mccarthy will be able to talk with the coming
00:56one more year let's run it back and uh give it a go so i'm gonna buy this but i don't feel great
01:01about it craig yeah so i'm gonna sell i i think what i would predict would play out would be a guess
01:09by the way but a conversation with mccarthy and rogers which is this we want you to come back and
01:15be our starter next season but keep in mind we have discussed within the organization that we're
01:20going to be drafting a quarterback in the first or second round and i don't think aaron rogers is going to
01:24go for that i i could because then i think at some point he sees that the writing could be on the
01:29wall the steelers have to draft a quarterback and succeed at it they've had so many busts trying to
01:35do this since since ben roethlisberger so i'm going to sell i think aaron rogers is not going to be
01:41a placeholder and i think that he would have to be aware that he is only a placeholder for next season
01:46because pittsburgh make no mistake about it round one round two round three they're going to end up
01:51with one of these and i don't know if the quarterbacks will be any good but they're
01:54going to end up with one of them
