Steelers Get Predictable Rodgers Marriage Update

Any man whose self-titled documentary “Enigma” isn’t much of one at all.

The Pittsburgh Steelers know who Aaron Rodgers is. They know he’s on the wrong side of 40, that he didn’t play all that well in 2024, and that he doesn’t really shift their Super Bowl odds. But they also know he’s far better than Mason Rudolph, an obviously more proven alternative to Will Howard, and the best reasonable option outside of perhaps Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins.

That has left the quarterback tentatively in the team’s plans. The Steelers would welcome Rodgers and the additional win or two he provides into the facility with open arms.

Yet, Pittsburgh remains out of the loop, at least publicly. Rodgers was vague in his statements this offseason, leading to speculation about retirement and even his marital status.

On the “Pat McAfee Show,” the Steelers got a predictable Rodgers marriage update – vague, unnecessary, and unsatisfying.

"Shocking, you know, no update from the situation, not gonna lie," former Green Bay Packers teammate A.J. Hawk said.

"It was not a wedding party from what we knew, but all of us were a bit surprised when we showed up as well. And to tell you the truth, I don't really know. I don't know if I have answers for you when it comes to that situation.

"He is very private and mysterious when it comes to things like that, and this is definitely one of them for sure. He seems very happy, he's doing very well. He looks good physically, mentally, but not a lot of clarity on this situation, I'm not gonna lie."

Rodgers was noncommittal on McAfee’s show when it came to playing in 2025. He is pushing off the decision because of its magnitude. Beyond being the (presumed) last year of his career and the finality of a farewell destination, quarterbacking a team with playoff contradictions is a major commitment.

As the offseason rolls on and Rodgers remains unsigned, the sun may very well be setting on his NFL career. When he spoke to McAfee about the situation, he was, of course, vague.

"I was honest from the jump about where I was at mentally and some of the constraints I have in my life right now that warrant my attention," Rodgers told McAfee earlier in the offseason.

"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, on my personal life. And that's what I've told the coaches. There's still conversations that are being had. It's all been very honest lines of communication."
