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.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers is "pointing in that direction," according to team owner Art Rooney II
Huddle Up: Rodgers' lack of mobility really limited what he could do last season, but he looked better later in the year. He'll be a QB2 wherever he goes, but he could be a matchup play with Pittsburgh's weapons.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf recently worked out with free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets), according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
Huddle Up: Rodgers has been linked with the Steelers for multiple weeks but has not signed at this point. Metcalf will be a main option in the passing game no matter the quarterback but likely will be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues. Rodgers probably can be considered a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he joins the Steelers.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) has not been ruled out as a possibility for the Vikings at some point this offseason, but general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said the team is very happy with the quarterbacks currently on the roster. Adofo-Mensah said Rodgers and head coach Kevin O'Connell have had several conversations this offseason.
Huddle Up: The Pittsburgh Steelers seem like the most likely option for Rodgers, but the Vikings could be an option for him if he is willing to wait longer to make a decision. He probably would open the season as the starter if he joined the Vikings, but J.J. McCarthy could take over the job at any point. Rodgers will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback no matter where he plays.

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) will likely play with the Pittsburgh Steelers if he decides to play in 2025, in the opinion of NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.
Huddle Up: Rodgers is a QB2 in fantasy and will really have to find a way to rekindle some mobility in the pocket two years from a torn Achilles in order to be worthwhile in drafts.

The New York Giants' signing of QB Jameis Winston earlier this week would not necessarily preclude them from signing another free-agent quarterback, such as QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) or QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets), according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Huddle Up: Winston is likely to open the 2025 season as the Giants' starter, even if the team drafts a quarterback, unless they also sign Wilson or Rodgers. If he plays, Winston should be viewed as a QB2 option for fantasy leagues.

Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) appears to be the Cleveland Browns' top choice amongst available quarterbacks, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, although there is still a chance that he could return to the Pittsburgh Steelers if free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) decides not to sign there. As a contingency plan, the Browns have also maintained interest in free-agent QB Carson Wentz (Eagles).
Huddle Up: Regardless of where Wilson winds up for the 2025 season, he should only be viewed as a QB2 option for fantasy purposes.
