Aaron Rodgers has undoubtedly become the central figure in one of the most compelling storylines the NFL has seen in recent years. With his move to the Pittsburgh Steelers all but confirmed, a league insider has potentially revealed when the former Jets quarterback is expected to put pen to paper.

Since his departure from the New York franchise, speculation ran rampant over Rodgers’ next move in the league. From potential retirement to surprising moves like joining the Vikings or even the Giants, several theories made the rounds — only to fade with time. All signs now point to one conclusion: the QB is destined to suit up under Mike Tomlin for the upcoming season.

In a recent appearance on 93.7 The Fan, Steelers insider Mark Kaboly offered insight into when the former Super Bowl champion could officially become a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
