There is a ton of speculation going around after the latest news of the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Tuesday, news came out that the Steelers were giving free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers the rare UDFA tender. This is rarely used tender and so there's been plenty of confusion about what it means for the Steelers, what it means for Rodgers

We've heard sports analyst Colin Cowherd say he thinks the Steelers did it to take control of the Rodgers situation. Meanwhile, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk thinks the Steelers did it to irritate Rodgers, and they might have done it in hopes of pushing him to make a decision.

In the big picture, we don't know if the URFA tender will have any real impact on when or if Rodgers signs with the Steelers.
