Steelers Place Rare UFA Tender on Aaron Rodgers Before Deadline

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed a rarely used UFA tender on quarterback Aaron Rodgers before Monday's post-draft deadline. The move preserves the Steelers' right to receive a compensatory draft pick if Rodgers signs with another team while limiting his ability to sign elsewhere once training camp begins. Pittsburgh will have exclusive negotiating rights until July 22 or the first day of training camp, whichever is later. Rodgers can accept a 10% raise worth approximately $15 million. The Steelers remain confident Rodgers will sign and called the move procedural.

Raiders Select QB Fernando Mendoza First Overall in 2026 NFL Draft

The Las Vegas Raiders selected quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. The 22-year-old Heisman Trophy winner led Indiana to its first national championship and becomes just the third player to win the Heisman, a national championship and go first overall in the same year, joining Cam Newton (2011) and Joe Burrow (2020). Mendoza watched from Miami with family rather than attending the Pittsburgh event. The draft saw eight trades on day one, with 320,000 attending outside the Steelers' home.
