Nonetheless, it was later said that no assembly was “scheduled or anticipated” involving Rodgers and the Steelers for Saturday or Sunday. For an replace shared throughout Monday’s version of the ESPN “Get Up” program, NFL insider Dan Graziano hinted that Rodgers seemingly is not any nearer to placing pen to paper on a deal than he was as of Friday night.
The Steelers nonetheless hadn’t met with Aaron Rodgers as of Monday morning
“What we’ve got been informed as of final night time is that no assembly has but taken place,” Graziano stated in regards to the newest developments within the Rodgers-related saga, per Ross McCorkle of Steelers Depot. “I have never been given any indication that this ends some other method than with Rodgers again with the Steelers, however it’s Rodgers, and you already know he likes to maintain us guessing.”
Graziano isn’t the one nationwide reporter who has advised since final week that Rodgers returning to Pittsburgh for one more marketing campaign is the probably finish to this story. For what it’s value, the Steelers allegedly plan to provide 2025 rookie Will Howard “a really actual likelihood to compete for a beginning job if Rodgers just isn’t again.”
Pittsburgh reportedly desires to let 2026 third-round draft decide Drew Allar spend a season creating as an unused QB3, so the Steelers could be on monitor to start out Howard or longtime backup Mason Rudolph if Rodgers rides off into the sundown of retirement.
Is there a brand new deadline for an Aaron Rodgers determination?

Curiously, Graziano stated that Rodgers as soon as once more might wait till proper earlier than the Steelers’ necessary minicamp will get underway on June 2 to signal a contract with the group. Final 12 months, Rodgers waited to ink his deal till the beginning of necessary minicamp practices despite the fact that then-head coach Mike Tomlin knew for a while that the long run Corridor of Famer could be Pittsburgh’s QB1 for the 2025 marketing campaign.
It was beforehand stated that Rodgers might re-sign with Pittsburgh in time to report for the beginning of OTAs on Might 18. As of Monday, Graziano sounded unconvinced that is now a given.
