Rodgers said Thursday on the Pat McAfee Show his decision whether or not to play this season is not "about the money" and that he would "play for $10 million," Brooke Pryorand Rich Cimini of ESPN report.

Analysis: "I never once said I needed a multi-year deal," Rodgers said, doubling down on the notion that if he does opt to suit up in 2025, the decision will be made solely based upon team circumstance and fit. The 41-year-old QB also made clear that his "focus" currently is "and will continue to be" his personal life, noting that "retirement still could be a possibility." Rodgers has been oft linked to the Steelers since being released by the Jets, especially in the wake of the Giants signing both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, but Pittsburgh is now only one week away from heading into the 2025 NFL Draft without a clear commitment from Rodgers, which could motivate the team to make other moves at the position.

The Bears signed Edwards to a two-year, $20 million contract extension Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Edwards was headed into the final year of his three-year, $19.5 million deal but is now locked up through the 2027 campaign. Edwards has started all 17 regular-season games each of the last three seasons and has posted four consecutive 100-tackle campaigns. In 2024, Edwards recorded 129 tackles (79 solo), including a career-best 4.0 sacks, three pass breakups, including one interception, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. He played 99 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps and should again function as an every-down linebacker for new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen.

The Titans released Morgan on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Morgan is among the group of six roster cuts made by Tennessee on Wednesday, as the team prepares its roster to house rookies selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. After spending the 2024 campaign on the Titans' practice squad, Morgan inked a reserve/future contract with the team in early January.
