Steelers May Not Be Aaron Rodgers Only Visit

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted Aaron Rodgers for his first free agent visit, sparking plenty of belief that the two sides are finally close on a deal. But Pittsburgh might not be Rodgers’ only stop during his time on the East Cost, as he could be headed to the Steelers’ biggest competition next.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, no one can rule out the possibility that Rodgers is headed to the New York Giants for a visit next. Rodgers still owns a home in New York, and is expected to go there after Pittsburgh, leaving the door open for a meeting.

“So what’s next? Well, Steelers folks seemed to think coming out of their meeting that he’d probably do a similar day with the Giants to get a vibe for their building, and what head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen have built. Unlike the Steelers, the Giants would look to Rodgers to do what the Jets envisioned him accomplishing and lift a growing, young core brimming with potential within a franchise that’s fallen on hard times,” Breer writes.

“The Steelers meeting did come together quickly, and I heard that Rodgers was planning to spend some time at his home in the New York area, so getting over to see the Giants wouldn’t be overly complicated. Whether it happens will, obviously, be telling.”

The Giants reportedly have a bigger offer on the table than the Steelers and are also waiting for their shot to land the four-time NFL MVP. However, the Steelers are believed to be the quarterback’s top landing spot outside of the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have made it known they aren’t considering Rodgers at this time, but that hasn’t stopped him from considering them and waiting.

If Rodgers does go to New York for a visit, it could complicate things for the Steelers. The Giants seem more willing to negotiate a bigger deal, and have an enticing weapon in Malik Nabers.

Time will tell, but Rodgers may not be done with his free agent visits.

Pennsylvania hunter charged after nearly shooting person, police say

A hunter in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was charged after nearly shooting a person, according to police.

Karen Gaus, 42, was arrested and charged with recklessly endangering another person and disorderly conduct in connection with the incident, officials said.

The Susquehanna Regional Police Department said in a news release that officers responded to Beattys Tollgate Road in East Donegal Township on Nov. 29 for a hunting complaint. Police said a homeowner was outside their residence when they heard multiple gunshots and a bullet passing by.

Officers began investigating and found Gaus nearby, who admitted that she was hunting and fired two shots at a deer in the direction of the victim’s home, according to the news release.

Gaus, according to court documents, is awaiting her preliminary hearing, which is scheduled for Jan. 12, 2026.

Pennsylvania’s firearms deer season ends on Saturday. It opened on Nov. 29 and included two Sundays: Nov. 30 and Dec. 7. Earlier this summer, Gov. Josh Shapiro signed a bill that reversed what state lawmakers called the “outdated” ban on Sunday hunting.

Before the firearms deer season began, the Game Commission said it expected more than 500,000 hunters would be out and about.

Giants release former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver

Giants release former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver

The New York Giants have released former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud, the team announced. McCloud was on their practice squad.

McCloud was released from the Atlanta Falcons earlier this season after being sent home by head coach Raheem Morris in a mysterious exit.

“I sent him home,” Morris said. “Excused absence — home. Working through some things right now that are private with my young man, and we’ll figure those things out as we go.”

The former Falcons wide receiver room has gone through ups and downs. They fired wide receivers coach Ike Hilliward in Week 3, a coach that McCloud is close with from his time with the Steelers. Hilliard coached McCloud for two seasons.

Morris said that McCloud’s issues have nothing to do with the fact that Hilliard was fired.

“This is between Ray-Ray, the organization and us and dealing with those things,” Morris said. “Nothing to do with that. It is just more a football thing and what we got to get straightened out.”

The former Steelers wide receiver is a valuable slot receiver who can also be a key cog on returns, but has floated around the NFL over the years trying to find a long-term home.
