After weeks of speculation and weighing his final NFL chapter, Aaron Rodgers has reportedly made a crucial decision that could shape the league's landscape heading into the new season. It's all about Saints possible entering the race with Steelers.

The Athletic's Michael Silver, Dianna Russini and Alec Lewis reported on March 15 it was "possible" that Rodgers could opt to retire rather than join the Steelers or New York Giants. That was at a point when the Giants were still in on Rodgers, but they pivoted by bringing in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston a short time later.

Rodgers, a four-time league MVP, has not yet made a decision about his playing future even after visiting the Steelers in March.
