Pittsburgh Steelers star defensive tackle Cam Heyward offered a blunt message to Aaron Rodgers amid the speculation about where the four-time MVP will end up after he was released by the New York Jets this month following a tumultuous two years.
Rodgers is reportedly weighing offers between the Steelers and New York Giants, but according to a report from The Athletic, the veteran signal caller is also interested in playing for the Minnesota Vikings.
Heyward said he was "tired of talking about the quarterback situation" and that he is "ready to move on from free agency" as the NFL world continues to wait for Rodgers' decision.

"I ain’t doing that darkness retreat. I don’t need any of that crap," Heyward said during a recent episode of his "Not Just Football" podcast.
"Either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don’t. That’s simple, that’s the pitch. If you want me to recruit, that’s the recruiting pitch. Pittsburgh Steelers — if you want to be part of it, so be it. If you don’t, no skin off my back."
One of the Steelers quarterbacks last season was Justin Fields, who departed for the Jets in free agency.
Russell Wilson, who supplanted Fields as the Steelers starting quarterback last season, is still a free agent and has met with the Cleveland Browns and Giants.
