The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to wait for an answer from Aaron Rodgers. This week, Rodgers and the Steelers have opened a line of communication that is continuing, meaning that a resolution or clarity should at least be there in the Steelers organization.
However, even with the Minnesota Vikings pulling out of the sweepstakes, it does seem Rodgers is in a rush. Adam Schefter of ESPN says there is no firm timeline on when Rodgers could make a decision, and while the Steelers and New York Giants are the potential landing spots, Rodgers could decide to retire.
“Nothing related to Minnesota has altered Aaron Rodgers’ timeline. One source monitoring Rodgers’ potential decision about the 2025 season said this morning that the free-agent QB still “is in no rush at all,” Schefter wrote.
Rodgers has two clear landing spots, but if he does not like any of those spots, the 41-year-old does not have to keep playing. That can not be ruled out, but the Steelers seem content in waiting Rodgers out at this point.
The Giants' offer is said to be more lucrative, but that does not mean he will jump at their offer. For the Steelers, they are recruiting Rodgers, but have backup plans in the case he does not sign with them, including the idea that Mason Rudolph could start.
