The Pittsburgh Steelers have reiterating their interest in acquiring quarterback Aaron Rodgers, signaling that they are willing to wait for him. During the recent NFL League Meetings in Palm Beach, Florida, team officials, including head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan, expressed optimism about the possibility of Rodgers joining the team.
According to Art Rooney II, the team’s president, signs point towards Rodgers signing with Pittsburgh. Tomlin confirmed that the two sides have maintained contact, and Khan assured that Rodgers’ arrival wouldn’t hinder the team’s plans for the remainder of the offseason.
However, the Steelers are making it clear that they need a decision from Rodgers soon. When asked if he was content to wait indefinitely, Rooney replied that “not forever, but a little while longer.” This indicates that the team is open to pushing past the start of training camp to await an answer from the 41-year-old quarterback.
While no one knows when Rodgers will make a decision, the Steelers are being patient and feel confident that things could work in their favor. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Rodgers’ future, rumors suggest that he is expected to end up in Pittsburgh this season.
