Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) hasn't committed to the Pittsburgh Steelers, NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero said on The Rich Eisen Show. "I have been told that he has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he's coming. Certainly, all indications -- if you just look at it logically -- are that he's coming, based on his comments about, 'Hey, there's a team that plays in Chicago I might play for; I'm not playing in New Orleans,"' Pelissero remarked. "He took one visit [with the Steelers]. He's been throwing with DK Metcalf. He talks all the time with Mike Tomlin. I know he's talked with Arthur Smith. So, there are all these signs that he's coming, but he has not affirmatively said, 'Hey, June 9 -- book me a ticket, I'm coming in and I'm going to join this team."'
Huddle Up: Rodgers had just four games with more than 20 fantasy points last season, but he did show sparks like in Week 18 with 274 passing yards, four TDs and 1 INT. He could be a matchup play if he goes to Pittsburgh, but he is devoid of much upside in leagues that don't start two QBs.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) said that he is not interested in playing for the New Orleans Saints, while participating in a question-and-answer session with fans attending rapper Mike Stud's concert Friday, May 23, in Austin, Texas.
Huddle Up: Joining the Pittsburgh Steelers continues to be the most likely scenario for the 41-year-old Rodgers, although there is no timetable for when he will officially sign with the team. QBs Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler appear to be the frontrunners for the Saints' starting job but neither player should be viewed as anything more than a low-end QB2 option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) could sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the next week or two, in the opinion of ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"My guess is, he's going to wind up going (to the Steelers). We've heard Art Rooney, the team owner, say he expects Aaron Rodgers to sign there - and they have a mandatory minicamp from June 10 to 12. I would think that Rodgers is on the table here in the next week or so," Schefter said during a recent appearance on ESPN Milwaukee's "Jen, Gabe, and Chewy" podcast.
Huddle Up: Schefter's educated guess makes sense, as teams typically like to know whom they are going into battle with by the time mandatory minicamps kick off. It also makes sense that Rodgers would have announced his retirement by now if that was still an option. Assuming if/when Rodgers signs, every key player associated with the Pittsburgh offense - specifically DK Metcalf - becomes much more attractive for fantasy purposes than they would have otherwise been with Mason Rudolph.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) remains undecided about his playing future as of Thursday, May 22, but the Pittsburgh Steelers remain open to signing him, according to team president Art Rooney II, who repeated the team will wait for him "a little while longer."
Huddle Up: Recent reports seem to suggest that Rodgers' personal issues are less of an issue now than they were a month or two ago, seemingly clearing the way for him to sign with the Steelers soon. The funny thing about the situation is that each side needs the other: Rodgers does not have another great option as far as teams to sign with, and Pittsburgh needs a player like Rodgers if it wants to have a realistic chance of being a viable playoff contender in 2025. Expect a deal to get done eventually.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) has not been considered as a possible option for the New Orleans Saint after QB Derek Carr's retirement.
Huddle Up: The Saints seem prepared to go with Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler as their starting quarterback in 2025. Shough probably will enter training camp as the leading candidate for the job, but neither he nor Rattler are more than No. 2 fantasy quarterbacks.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) has been in communication with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the offseason and, according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor, it is "unlikely that Rodgers wasn't privy" to the team's decision to trade WR George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys.
Huddle Up: Pryor notes Rodgers' history of high expectations when it comes to his receivers, and that it may have been an issue given Pickens' track record of running the wrong route. Obviously, nothing is official with Rodgers and the Steelers, but from a fantasy perspective, the loss of Pickens absolutely diminishes Pittsburgh's talent level at the position. While much can happen between now and training camp -- don't expect Calvin Austin III to be WR2 come September -- if Rodgers does end up in the Steel City, he's unlikely to hold more than low-end QB2 value, no matter who is added.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) remains unsigned, but the Pittsburgh Steelers "are confident" that he "will be a member of the Steelers," according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
Huddle Up: Rapoport's report appears to be the product of a comment that team owner Art Rooney made during draft weekend. Ultimately, the decision lies with Rodgers, as it appears his only options are the Steelers or retirement. It goes without saying that Pittsburgh would love to have him, as it would be hard for the team to sell the idea that it was trying to make a deep playoff run with Mason Rudolph as its quarterback. DK Metcalf, George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth's fantasy fortunes hang in the balance.

During a recent appearance on Steelers Radio Now, Pittsburgh Steelers owner and team president Art Rooney II said that he gets the feeling that free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) still wants to come to Pittsburgh and expressed optimism that news about the situation would be coming soon.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) told "The Pat McAfee Show" on Thursday, April 17, that he is "open to anything and attached to nothing" as it relates to his playing status for the 2025 season. He cited "personal matters" as the primary reason why he has yet to decide on his future, which likely includes signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers or announcing his retirement - both of which appear to be very much on the table for him.
"I have a couple people in my inner, inner circle who are battling some difficult stuff. So, I have a lot of things that are taking my attention and have since the beginning of January away from football. That's where I have been focusing most of my attention on. To make a commitment to a team is a big thing, whether you are a first-year player or 20-year vet. ... I've been straight up with these teams from the start about where I was at. Starting with the money thing, I told every single one of the teams that I was talking to that it ain't about the money. I'll play for ($10 million per season). I don't care. ... I wasn't stringing anyone along. I wasn't holding anybody hostage. ... So, yeah, I'm open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility but right now my focus has been and will continue to be my personal life. That's what I've told the coaches," Rodgers said.
Huddle Up: It still seems more likely than not that Rodgers will end up with the Steelers, but it does seem like he is in no rush to make it official. Even if he was not dealing with personal matters, the odds are relatively strong that he would not be overly excited to participate in offseason workouts at this point in his career anyway. His only other realistic options - outside of Pittsburgh - would be to sign with the Cleveland Browns or New Orleans Saints and neither of those teams appears to be as close as the Steelers to making a serious run in the playoffs. Expect Rodgers to agree to a deal with Pittsburgh in the weeks or months following the NFL Draft and serve as a decent QB2 option in fantasy.
