Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers have said very little about the current situation with Aaron Rodgers. Now, during the latest owners meeting, Art Rooney II gave a brief statement on the controversial matter.
According to a report from Jeremy Fowler, the team owner reiterated that the Steelers are ready to wait as weāre getting closer to training camp. āA little while longer. Iāll say the same thing.ā
Last month, Rooney made very similar remarks that align with multiple reports. The Steelers want the Super Bowl champion quarterback and they will be patient. The big question is: how much longer?
Will Steelers wait for Aaron Rodgers?
Yes. The Pittsburgh Steelers are willing to wait for Aaron Rodgers and have already passed several key dates that, apparently, havenāt put any pressure on them. The start of free agency, the 2025 Draft, and the schedule release were seen as potential deadlines by experts, but the quarterback didnāt budge.
Now, the next date marked on the calendar is June 10th, when the teamās mandatory minicamp begins. However, based on Rooneyās recent comments, the Steelers donāt seem desperate and appear to know something the public doesnāt about the veteranās stance. Total uncertainty.
