Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur deflects Aaron Rodgers speculation, says team is focused on current quarterbacks

Nick Wright joins Colin Cowherd to discuss the Kansas City Chiefs’ draft, the Los Angeles Rams drafting Ty Simpson, and whether or not the Pittsburgh Steelers should re-sign Aaron Rodgers.

The NFL Draft has come and gone, and Aaron Rodgers is still a free agent.

Rodgers spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the fact that he hasn’t signed with them for next season is making fans wonder if he is considering signing with a different team, or retiring. The Arizona Cardinals do not have a confirmed starting quarterback for this upcoming season, and head coach Mike LaFleur was asked if the team has any interest in the four-time NFL MVP.

"Honestly, right now, we're focused on the guys that we've got coming in," LaFleur said during a recent appearance on "The Jim Rome Show."

"We've got a room we are excited to work with, and that's solely where my focus is."

The Cardinals officially released Kyler Murray in March after seven seasons, signaling the hunt for a new franchise quarterback. While Rodgers, at 42 years old, would not be the Cardinals’ long-term answer, he proved last season that he is still capable of being a serviceable NFL quarterback.

In 16 games with the Steelers, Rodgers completed 65.7% of his passes for 3,322 yards with 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

The Cardinals signed wide receiver Kendrick Bourne in
