Bobby Wagner wants to continue his playing career in 2022, but admits his future is uncertain with the Seattle Seahawks.

Wagner is the final defensive player still with the Seahawks from their Legion of Boom run. Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett left the team following the 2017 season, while Earl Thomas departed in 2018, and K.J. Wright left after 2020.

“You think about it,” Wagner said Wednesday. “You think about what the next year looks like, and just, period, what the future holds because this was a season that I don’t think we all planned for. We didn’t plan for the season to go this way. And so obviously there’s going to be some changes. And whether or not I’m part of those changes, I don’t know. But all I can control is these last two games. And you know, figure it out from there, whatever the team thinks is the best thing to do moving forward. We’ll see how that plays out.”

Ben Roethlisberger acknowledged that Monday's game against the Cleveland Browns will likely be his final home game with the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

"Looking at the bigger picture, I would say all signs are pointing to this could be it -- regular season, that is," Roethlisberger said Thursday. "I know we still have a chance to potentially get a playoff game there if things fall our way and we take care of business and things have to happen. In the grand scheme of things, in terms of regular seasons, signs are pointing that way that this could be it."

Roethlisberger returned to the Steelers in 2021 after taking a pay reduction.

Aaron Rodgers said he anticipates a quick resolution to his playing future this offseason. Rodgers left open the possibilities of returning to the Green Bay Packers, playing for another team, or retiring. 

"It won't be something where I'll drag it out for months and months," Rodgers said at the end of a lengthy answer about his future.

"I'm not going to hold the team back from anything," Rodgers said. "And once I commit -- and if it's committing to move forward here -- it will be a quick decision."

Nearly a year ago, Rodgers called his future with the Packers a "beautiful mystery." 

While Rodgers said he "wouldn't rule that out" when asked about retirement, he said: "This has been one of my favorite years of football."

"I think that I'm just enjoying this season for this season and I think playing next year will definitely be in the thought process," Rodgers said. "One of the things that obviously [Rodgers wants is] to not be a bum on the way out and to still be able to play. I think is important to me. If this year has taught me anything, it's that I still can play, I still have a love for the game, I'm still super competitive and still enjoy the process of the week."

Ben Roethlisberger has privately told former teammates and some within the Pittsburgh Steelers' organization he expects to retire at the conclusion of the 2021 season.

Roethlisberger has not made any such public proclamations and likely won't.

Both Roethlisberger and the Steelers are operating as if he this will be his final season.

Roethlisberger is 39 years old, turns 40 in March. He is also in the final season of his contract.

The Seattle Seahawks have signed Adrian Peterson to their practice squad.

"Excited to see if he can help us out and give us a little something," Pete Carroll said. "He's a player that I've known forever -- way back to his high-school days -- and admired him tremendously over the years. Always disappointed we didn't get him back in the day, but like I just told him, we finally got him. So I'm looking forward to seeing how he does and where he can fit in. He's an incredible competitor and a great guy, so I'm anxious to give him a chance to get on the field with our boys."

Peterson was waived last week by the Tennessee Titans.

James Conner hopes to remain with the Arizona Cardinals past this season.

Conner signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the team in the offseason after struggling to find a larger market for his services.

The running back has been rejuvenated with the Cardinals. He has 728 total yards and 13 touchdowns this season.
