What’s your decision, Aaron?

That’s what everyone around the NFL wants to know as future first-ballot Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers still mulls over what he wants to do for this upcoming campaign.

While it’s still possible that the 42-year-old says his time in the sun is over and walks off into the wilderness as retirement, the more news and rumors that come out point to him returning for a 22nd season in the NFL.

But is it Steelers or bust?

Pittsburgh is the heavy favorite to re-sign the signal-caller, especially with the signing of head coach Mike McCarthy, who, alongside Rodgers, won a Super Bowl together on the Green Bay Packers.

If Rodgers wants a chance, even if it’s an outside one to win a second ring, the Steelers are his best option as a starter.

But as the days go on, there is another road he can go down.

One where he might not win a ring, but a path where he could end it by saying he did something that his previous mentor never did for him: set the future up for success.

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to take Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick in April’s NFL Draft. But the Raiders’ brain trust has already let it be known behind the scenes that they don’t want to rush Mendoza’s entry into the league, preferring to have him learn behind a veteran for a year or two before taking over.

Although Mendoza ended his career in Indiana, he was recognized by scouts at the University of California, Berkeley. You know who else made a name for himself as a Golden Bear?

Aaron Rodgers.

If there was one young QB for Rodgers to mentor, it would be Mendoza, who balances the veteran’s gruffness with his eternal optimism.

Rodgers would probably be passing up a chance for a second Lombardi Trophy, but instead, he could finish his career on his own terms and go full circle.

He never believed Packers legend and multi-time NFL MVP Brett Favre did his job as his mentor.

With Mendoza almost assuredly needing one to survive in a Raiders organization that hasn’t been in the AFC Championship game since 2003, Rodgers can one-up Favre one last time before retirement.
