The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t know who their beginning quarterback will likely be in 2025 but, however they may very well be getting nearer to figuring it out. Throughout a section on NFL Community’s The Insiders discussing Rodgers’ current throwing session with Steelers WR DK Metcalf, NFL insider Tom Pelissero stated that “all indicators are pointing” towards Rodgers signing with the Steelers.
“This really seems to be a state of affairs the place all indicators are pointing to Aaron Rodgers being the Steelers quarterback, however till he truly calls and says I’m in, they’ll’t be 100% certain.”
It seems like Rodgers has been trending towards signing with the Steelers for a bit now, particularly after he visited the staff facility on March 21. However he nonetheless hasn’t determined the place he’s going to play subsequent season, even with the New York Giants seemingly out of the operating after signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. There’s additionally the query of whether or not he’s going to play, because the 41-year-old may be considering retirement.
Pittsburgh is the one staff nonetheless actively pursuing Rodgers, and given his go to to the staff facility and throwing session with Metcalf, it appears as if he’s doing his due diligence on doubtlessly becoming a member of the Steelers. The Athletic beforehand reported that Rodgers needed to signal with the Minnesota Vikings in the event that they expressed curiosity, however they’re centered on transferring ahead with 2024 first-round choose J.J. McCarthy. If Rodgers stays unsigned, and the Vikings don’t like what they see out of McCarthy throughout OTAs, they might all the time pivot to Rodgers, although that feels unlikely.
Whereas the Steelers don’t have a deadline for Rodgers, Mike Tomlin stated the staff desires to determine who their quarterback will likely be by coaching camp. The longer this drags on, the extra impatient the Steelers could also be, particularly with some within the group wanting him to resolve quickly.
Nobody actually has any perception on when Aaron Rodgers will resolve what he’ll do subsequent season, but it surely does really feel as if a choice may very well be getting nearer. With Pittsburgh actually his solely possibility proper now outdoors of retirement, if Rodgers is taking part in subsequent season, it does appear proper now as if he’ll greater than probably wind up in Pittsburgh. However as Pelissero stated, till he truly makes the choice, there’s all the time room for doubt.
