The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a strong rebuild after the last season. The black and gold franchise failed to win a game in the playoffs with Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback, and now a new era begins for the Mike Tomlin‘s team, which is waiting for the Aaron Rodgers‘ response for the 2025 NFL season.
Last year was synonymous with disappointment for the Steelers. A rough stretch at the end of the regular season lowered expectations, and the campaign went off the rails. The best option for 2025 is signing Rodgers, but the delay has become a source of uncertainty for the Pittsburgh organization.
Tomlin is still waiting to name his starting quarterback for the 2025 NFL season. The new year brings an opportunity for a fresh start in Pittsburgh. Constant rumors and recent reports have sparked controversy surrounding A-Rod’s final decision. In this context, NFL insider Mike Florio has revealed a key detail about Rodgers’ potential interest in joining another team.
Rodgers could prefer joining another team over Steelers
“Some still believe he’s waiting to see whether the Vikings will decide to pivot from J.J. McCarthy, and that he prefers Minnesota to Pittsburgh,” Florio declared in NBC Sports. The possibility of seeing Rodgers in the Kevin O’Connell’s roster is complicated, but it is not out of the question.

It is still unclear when Rodgers will announce his final decision. The Steelers’ offer has been on the table for several days, but nothing concrete has emerged regarding the future of the 41-year-old quarterback. Speculation continues to swirl around the situation.
