Aaron Rodgers has once again found himself at the center of attention as the future Hall of Fame quarterback is the last significant free agent domino yet to fall.

Rodgers' future has been up in the air for the last few weeks; however, with Russell Wilson recently signing with the New York Giants, Rodgers' options are shrinking.

The former New York Jets quarterback has had long meetings with the Pittsburgh Steelers recently, and now, a secret weekend workout has many pointing toward the quarterback joining the AFC North franchise.

On Monday, Mike Garafolo reported on Good Morning Football that Rodgers had a workout with Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf over the weekend.

Metcalf was acquired by the Steelers in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks, and comparing the massive receiver with another talented receiver in George Pickens has to be enticing for Rodgers.

While some fans continue to keep the dream alive that Rodgers will complete the Brett Favre career cycle by joining the Minnesota Vikings, it appears that the veteran quarterback is nearing a decision on his playing future.

Could Rodgers' joining the Steelers make the franchise a favorite in the AFC this upcoming season? One thing is for sure: if he can find the Rodgers from four years ago, then the Steelers should show a lot of promise.
