The Pittsburgh Steelers have questions remaining behind center after choosing defensive tackle Derrick Harmon instead of a quarterback in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. But the team still expects veteran Aaron Rodgers to be part of the team’s potential answer in 2025.
That’s what Steelers president Art Rooney II said on Steelers Nation Radio just as Day 2 of the NFL Draft began Friday. Rooney also stated that the team is anticipating a final decision from Rodgers soon.
“We’re still kind of getting the same signals we’ve been getting recently that he does want to come here,” Rooney said. “I do think we may get word soon.
“Obviously with things starting to crank up here with the offseason program, etc. If he’s coming, would like to get him here soon for some of that.”
According to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac, it’s been more than six weeks since the Steelers made an offer to Rodgers. Dulac tweeted on March 12 that Rodgers was taking “his gold ol’ time about making a decision.”
Rodgers shared during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on April 17 that someone in his “inner inner circle” was dealing with a personal issue that he was prioritizing. Rodgers explained that he had been “up front” with the Steelers about that.
The quarterback also stated that he was “open to anything and attached to nothing.”
Steelers Still Expecting Aaron Rodgers to Sign
Pundits have wondered this offseason how long the Steelers will wait on a decision from Rodgers. Apparently, it’s a little while longer.
Despite the draft beginning, the Steelers still appear set on the idea that Rodgers will be their starting quarterback in 2025.
