Rodgers has met with the team's top brass and saw his other potential NFL options whittled away as other quarterback-needy teams made decisions, but has yet to make a final decision. While reports indicate that the Steelers are confidence he will ultimately sign in Pittsburgh, Rodgers has kept the team waiting.

Pittsburgh went 10-7 and made the playoffs in 2024 under quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Wilson signed with the New York Giants while Fields went to the Jets to replace Rodgers, so the position is open for the taking.

Throughout the offseason, he has flown to visit the Steelers in Pittsburgh and has also had a private throwing session with star wide receiver DK Metcalf. He has shown plenty of interest, but he has not been willing to commit by signing a contract.
