Rodgers' Pittsburgh Visit: What's Next for the Quarterback?
Pittsburgh, USASat Mar 22 2025
The football world is buzzing after Aaron Rodgers spent a significant amount of time at the Steelers' facility. This wasn't a quick stopover. He was there for a full six hours, showing a serious interest in the team. This visit wasn't a secret for long. Gerry Dulac, a reporter from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, was the first to share the news. Once he did, others rushed to confirm it, as if his word wasn't enough. This isn't surprising, though. In the world of sports journalism, everyone wants to be the first to break a story.
So, how did the news get out? Someone from the Steelers must have leaked it. This could have been a test by Rodgers to see if the team has any leaks. He's had issues with leaks in the past, especially with the Jets. But let's be real, every team has leaks. The fact that Rodgers visited Pittsburgh was always going to come out. The league office has reporting obligations, after all. It just didn't make it to the Friday report.
Now, what does this visit mean for Rodgers' future? Not much, apparently. He's in no rush to make a decision. His agent, David Dunn, has advised him to take his time. So, what's Rodgers thinking? No one knows for sure. He might be considering the Steelers, the Giants, or even waiting for the Vikings to make a move. He could also be thinking about retirement or waiting for an injury to open up a spot on a Super Bowl contender.
There was a time when it seemed Rodgers was ready to make a move. The Steelers even made him an offer. But then, nothing happened. So, the wait continues. There won't be any big announcements. Just small developments here and there. A visit to one team, a chat with another. And then, at some point, Rodgers will sign a contract. Or he won't.
