It's down to the New York Giants or the Pittsburgh Steelers for Aaron Rodgers per NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

“I’ve gone back and forth on Rodgers ... I don’t know. It’s a really hard choice. I have some thoughts, but I don’t know which way he’s leaning,” Rapoport said on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday.

Rapoport says that both franchises offer different attractions for Rodgers. The Giants keep him in New York, where he has lived for the past two years, and had empirical success with competent quarterback play.

“If it’s the Giants, first of all he doesn’t have to move," Rapoport said. "Second of all, it’s a team they’ve added in free agency, still got some weapons, they are a team that when they’ve had even decent quarterback play they’ve won ... that’s a pretty intriguing situation.”

On the Steelers end, there's a competitive defense to support Rodgers with a passionate fan base and a legendary head coach.

“You have the Steelers, who’ve lost a lot in free agency but it’s still the Steelers," Rapoport said. "You’ve got that defense, you’ve got the fans, you’ve got the stadium, you’ve got [Mike] Tomlin.

“I can understand why it’s a tough decision.”

But former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown says he already knows Rodgers' decision.

“CTESPN always has it first,” Brown wrote on X, referencing past comments he's made merging "CTE" and "ESPN" together. “Deal is finalized… Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers 2 year deal….”

Brown has jokingly teased the idea of becoming an insider previously, even requesting that Adam Schefter acknowledge him for accurately predicting Russell Wilson would land with the Steelers one year ago.
