The Pittsburgh Steelers remain in the dark on their pursuit of Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers, who visited the Steelers last Friday, has yet to make a decision on his future, whether it is to sign with the Steelers or retire.
Adam Schefter of ESPN says the Steelers do not even know what is going on, but they are willing to wait for Rodgers to make his final decision.
“There are people who believe that he may not play this year,” Schefter said on ESPN’s “Get Up.” “There are people who believe he’s waiting to see if something might open down the line in Minnesota with the Vikings. But nobody knows for sure what Aaron Rodgers’ game plan is, and for the time being, the Steelers are in the dark. We’re speculating, but it shouldn’t be that hard. Either you want to play for the Steelers or you don’t. What are we waiting for?"
In 2024, Rodgers played but was hampered by hamstring and knee issues. He missed most of the 2023 season with a torn achilles. That is not the recipe for success when the Steelers’ offensive line is still young and unproven.
Rodgers remains in no rush to decide, however. The Steelers have not pushed back on that, though, and any idea the team would give him major flak for taking time to decide has little credence.
