NFL Insider Drops Bombshell Aaron Rodgers-Pittsburgh Steelers Update

However, during a recent appearance on the “Rich Eisen Show,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero recently reported that isn’t exactly the case.

“I have been told that he has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he's coming,” Pelissero said. “Certainly all the indications, if you look at it logically, are that he's coming based on his comments about, ‘There’s a team that plays in Chicago (this year) that I might play for,’ ‘I’m not playing in New Orleans.’

“He took one visit, he's been throwing with DK Metcalf, he talks all the time with (head coach) Mike Tomlin, I know he’s talked with (offensive coordinator) Arthur Smith. There's all these signs that he's coming but he's not affirmatively said, ‘Hey, June 9, book me the ticket, I'm coming in and I'm going to join this team.’ That has not happened as of this point.”

Rodgers announced on the “Pat McAfee Show’ that he’s been dealing with matters in his personal life that have prevented him from 100% committing to the Steelers right now.

But because Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has shown his willingness to wait on Rodgers, some analysts believe the 41-year-old QB could be taking advantage of the situation.

“Yes, they’re operating as if the guy is going to be there, but every day that goes by, you just have that sense of A- what’s the holdup? Why does it have to be like this?” Pelissero continued. “And B- is it possible that one of the most unique people in the NFL in the modern era ends up making a unique U-turn at the end of this thing?”
