Steelers' Long National Aaron Rodgers Nightmare May Be Over

Aaron Rodgers has said he is in no hurry to make a decision on his football career.

And Aaron does what Aaron wants, so ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are obliging him.

But on Friday night during the NFL Draft, a breakthrough.

Steelers owner Art Rooney is now saying of Rodgers, "He does want to come here so I do think we may get word soon.”

Oh, goodie.

So ... "The Steelers' Long National Nightmare Of Being Held Hostage Even Though Aaron Says He Would Never Do That'' ... might be over?

It has been the Steelers' front office position that all of the things Rodgers has said - or not said - is unsurprising to them. Their offer (we believe it's $30 million for one year) is on the table.

Turning a bit yellow and frayed, maybe - like the 41-year-old Rodgers himself.

But still on the table.

Coach Mike Tomlin has indicated that he is unfazed by what some think is a negative circumstance.

Askeda few days ago if the situation with Rodgers has any effect on what the Steelers intend to do in the NFL Draft, Tomlin said, “It does not.”

So ... America awaits the big decision.

Steelers general manager Omar Khan has said that the Steelers intend to go to training camp with four quarterbacks on the roster, which is two more than they already employ, while waiting for a decision from Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP. ...

And now Rooney is suggesting we're almost there.

Oh, goodie.
