<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a>‘ silence continues to fuel the months-long speculation about his future in the NFL. Even though A-Rod may <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-may-already-know-contract-length-and-salary-with-mike-tomlins-steelers-amid-wait-on-vikings">already know what kind of contract to expect with Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, the Minnesota Vikings are still seen as a potential landing spot for the 41-year-old.



The Steelers, however, don’t seem to be worried about this situation. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Tomlin</a> and company believe that Rodgers will end up moving to Pittsburgh for the 2025 NFL season.



“I’m told from the Steelers they do remain optimistic,” Fowler said during an appearance on SportsCenter on Sunday, via Bleacher Report. “But nothing has changed from when Art Rooney, team president, addressed the media at the owners meetings on Tuesday that they feel good about this shaking out that Rodgers will be a Pittsburgh Steeler.”



A couple of actions from Rodgers this offseason have given the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> reasons for optimism. Not only did the quarterback met Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan during a visit to the team’s facility in March, but he also had a throwing session with DK Metcalf after the Steelers traded for the wideout.

Rodgers hit the open market after a two-year stint with the New York Jets, and even though retirement is still on the cards, the Steelers believe they’ll be the team with whom he spends a 21st season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-mike-tomlin-and-steelers-have-reportedly-found-ideal-quarterback-to-take-over-for-aaron-rodgers"></div>

 


<h2>Potential date for Rodgers’ signing with Steelers</h2>



Speaking at the NFL annual meetings last week, Steelers owner Art Rooney looked confident about getting Rodgers after getting “positive signals” from the quarterback. However, he also clarified that the team won’t wait him “forever.”



Therefore, Fowler reports that people with knowledge of the situation believe Rodgers may have guaranteed Tomlin and the Steelers that he will eventually join their ranks. And the insider believes that his confirmation could come before the 2025 NFL Draft.



“Have not gotten definitive word, but they’re willing to wait ‘a little while longer.’ That has really been the case for a few weeks now but talking to people that have been involved in the quarterback market in the last couple of months, they believe that the Steelers must’ve gotten some sort of assurance at some point from Rodgers that he’s going to sign eventually. So, we should see some movement between now and the draft, potentially.“



<h2>Vikings not expected to sign Rodgers</h2>



What about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings">Vikings</a>? Minnesota emerged as a potential destination for Rodgers as the four-time NFL MVP reportedly showed interest in a return to the NFC North.



However, this option appears to be unlikely. While <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-has-reportedly-confirmed-if-vikings-will-choose-him-over-j-j-mccarthy">Rodgers may have already realized the Vikings are sticking to J.J. McCarthy</a>, Fowler believes the team isn’t even thinking about this possibility at this point of the offseason.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="67f2e0e60c8fd1e7fdf26d18" data-title="Will Aaron Rodgers come back in 2025?" data-options="4"></div>


“The Minnesota Vikings, is he waiting them out? That is sort of a lingering question out there but when I talk to people with the Vikings, this is all but dead for them essentially. Maybe if he’s available later in the summer they would revisit but that just seems unlikely at this point. So, it’s Steelers, retirement or bust,” Fowler added.

Mike Tomlin didn’t want to miss the chance to send a special message about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> and his recent visit with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>. Regardless of whether the quarterback signs with the team or not, the head coach acknowledged that it was a great moment due to the admiration he has for the veteran.



“I’m excited to be quite honest about the acquisition of new talent. Aaron came and spent a day with us. We had an awesome day. For a couple of guys like ourselves, me and Aaron to have been in the league as long as we have and to be familiar with one another, there’s still no substitute for spending time together and bouncing ideas off one another. Getting to know one another in a more intimate way beyond competition. So, that was exciting.”



The Steelers believe that Rodgers is the ideal man to take the next step in their pursuit of a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> within a very crowded AFC. However, there is still no response from the player, and it’s unclear how long it will take for him to communicate his final decision.



<h2>Can the Steelers win the Super Bowl?</h2>



Mike Tomlin believes his team is ready to compete for the Super Bowl, but a key factor will be finding the players who can ultimately secure a playoff victory for the Steelers. Among them could be Aaron Rodgers.


 

 


“The process of evaluating everyone at the position has been a fun one, but, fun for me is winning. So, the players that we acquire, we got to train, we got to assimilate them into our culture and we got to get prepared to meet the challenges of competition in the fall and winter.”

Mike Tomlin delivers special message to Aaron Rodgers after visit with Steelers

Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t believe the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> should draft a quarterback in the first round. Understanding that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> would be a bridge player at the position, the black and gold legend said on his podcast Footbahlin that Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan should prioritize the trenches.



“I don’t think they should go quarterback. I would either go offensive line or defensive line. Maybe defensive line, because you got rid of Ogunjobi and you have Cam (Heyward), who obviously played great last year, but how many years does he have left. You’ve got to add depth. If you can find Cam’s ten-year replacement in the first round, that’s what you have to do.”



The Steelers haven’t won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> in over 16 years, and with no second-round pick due to the trade for DK Metcalf, Khan can’t afford to miss on his first selection with the 21st pick.



<h2>Who will the Steelers select in the draft?</h2>



Although many rumors suggest that the Steelers would select Jaxson Dart or Shedeur Sanders if the Colorado prospect falls to No. 21, the reality is that the team’s biggest needs are on the defensive line, the offensive line, and possibly at wide receiver, assuming they don’t plan to extend George Pickens’ contract.


 

 


Moreover, according to many experts, the 2025 class isn’t very deep at the quarterback position, and the Steelers could end up making the same mistake they did with Kenny Pickett out of desperation. In this scenario, the third round seems like a more logical option to draft a QB, if names like Jalen Milroe or Will Howard are still available.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-has-reportedly-confirmed-if-vikings-will-choose-him-over-j-j-mccarthy">Aaron Rodgers reportedly knows that the Minnesota Vikings will stick to J.J. McCarthy</a>, but for some reason, the four-time NFL MVP continues to put Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers on hold.



The 41-year-old, however, may already know what kind of contract to expect in Pittsburgh. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Rodgers</a> and the Steelers have already agreed to the parameters of a potential deal, but A-Rod has yet to confirm whether he accepts the one-year contract.



Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports has the same expectation, claiming that “it’s hard to envision Rodgers netting anything more than a two-year deal,” making a contract valid through the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season more likely. 



However, the analyst notes that “it’s possible a two-year pact would enable the acquiring team to better spread out his money, either via a ‘dummy’ second season or a player/team option.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250406_BUS_371055_Aaron-Rodgers-3-1024x576_4cd9a585.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Aaron Rodgers #8 of the New York Jets looks on before the game against the Los Angeles Chargers at MetLife Stadium on November 06, 2023 in East Rutherford, New Jersey." class="wp-image-347604" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/03114639/Aaron-Rodgers-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/03114639/Aaron-Rodgers-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/03114639/Aaron-Rodgers-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/03114639/Aaron-Rodgers-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/03114639/Aaron-Rodgers-3-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/03114639/Aaron-Rodgers-3-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/03114639/Aaron-Rodgers-3-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/03114639/Aaron-Rodgers-3.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Aaron Rodgers #8 of the New York Jets looks on before the game against the Los Angeles Chargers at MetLife Stadium on November 06, 2023 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Rodgers’ potential salary in 2025, revealed</h2>



While the length of the deal is projected to be no longer than a year due to Rodgers’ age, his potential salary does raise a big question mark. Not long ago, an insider predicted <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-predicted-to-get-bigger-contract-than-expected-with-mike-tomlins-steelers">Rodgers could get more than expected with the Steelers</a>.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/aaron-rodgers-net-worth"></div>

 

 


Benjamin, however, has poured cold water on those rumors, claiming that Rodgers’ “financial floor” might be around $25 million a year. That would be less than the $37.5 million per year he earned with the New York Jets, but let’s keep in mind that Rodgers signed that deal in 2023. He’s two years older now.



“If $25 million is the floor, then Rodgers’ financial ceiling is probably about $35 million per year,” Benjamin added, noting that a deal worth $40 million per season is unlikely, despite reports that suggested that number.



Considering that $25 million would be the minimum and $35 million the highest he could make in a year, Benjamin concludes that Rodgers’ contract with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> could be worth approximately $30 million for the 2025 NFL season.



<h2>Rodgers still mysterious about his future</h2>



Only Rodgers knows what will be the next step in his career. Pittsburgh is the only team that guarantees him a starting spot for the 2025 NFL season, as the front office is patiently waiting for his final decision. However, it appears that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-mike-tomlin-and-steelers-have-reportedly-chosen-starting-quarterback-to-succeed-aaron-rodgers">Tomlin and the Steelers have already identified a potential alternative to Rodgers</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="67f2a5820c8fd1e7fdf26d02" data-title="What will happen with Rodgers?" data-options="3"></div>


The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings">Vikings</a> want to work out McCarthy first, and they’d only turn to Rodgers if they’re unconvinced about the second-year QB. Besides these two teams, retirement could be a third option for the former Green Bay Packers star.

Mike Tomlin and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> envision an explosive offense with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> as the leader. Although the arrival of DK Metcalf sparked rumors about a trade to let go of George Pickens, general manager Omar Khan has denied that possibility.



“You need more than one receiver in this league and we’re fortunate that we have George (Pickens) and Calvin (Austin). We’re also excited about what Roman (Wilson) is going to be able to do for us.”



If the Steelers keep Pickens and manage to sign Rodgers, that unit could have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> caliber in Arthur Smith’s second year as the team’s offensive coordinator. During the latest owners’ meeting, Tomlin was also firm in stating that he wants George on the roster despite the rumors.



<h2>Will Steelers give George Pickens a contract extension?</h2>



George Pickens will enter the final year of his contract with the Steelers, and the team has yet to show signs of working on an extension for the star wide receiver. However, at least for 2025, they want to keep him to play alongside DK Metcalf.


 

 


The big decision will come in 2026 when Pickens can test the market as a free agent. In that scenario, the Steelers would be in a very difficult situation, as it would be hard to pay more than $30 million per year to two players at the same position.

Mike Tomlin and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> as a short-term priority, but he won’t be their long-term solution. For that reason, according to a report by Ian Rapoport, Jaxson Dart continues to gain momentum as a potential option for the team in the first round of the draft.



“The Steelers have a late first-round pick. I’m not sure they love the idea of doing this veteran quarterback thing year after year. They’d like to get a young guy. They’d like to get someone that’s worth it. They’d like to get someone who they can grow with. The Steelers spent a lot of time with Jaxson Dart.”



Since Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement, the Steelers haven’t found a franchise quarterback to keep them in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> contention. Rodgers would be a win-now project for 2025, while Dart would be the option for the next 10 to 15 years and that’s why he recently had a Top 30 visit with Pittsburgh.



<h2>Who will be Steelers next starting quarterback?</h2>



The Steelers want Aaron Rodgers to be their next starting quarterback, but in case that doesn’t happen, general manager Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin are already working on a backup plan.


 

 


The precautionary measure is Mason Rudolph, who could be trusted to take the reins of the team due to his familiarity with the system. And what seems certain is that, either in this draft or in the 2026 one, they’re going to select a prospect to develop into their franchise quarterback. Jaxson Dart could be that young player.

Mike Tomlin and Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly found ideal quarterback to take over for Aaron Rodgers

Mike Tomlin and Steelers have reportedly found ideal quarterback to take over for Aaron Rodgers - Bolavip US

Mike Tomlin and Steelers have reportedly found a quarterback to take over for Aaron Rodgers

Ben Roethlisberger believes that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> will eventually sign with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, but in his Footbahlin podcast, the team’s legend assured that head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan will likely draft a quarterback in the third round.



“I think they’ll draft someone in the third round. I do. A quarterback. I don’t think they’ll do it in the first round. I think Will Howard from Ohio State could be there (third round). I think the kid from Lousville who the Steelers really like him (Tyler Shough). I think that they kind of like Jaxson Dart, but I don’t think he’ll be there in the third round.”



In their quest to win the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>, the Steelers have emphasized that they will look for a quarterback in this year’s or next year’s draft, but the 2025 class is not very deep. However, desperation could lead them to try again, just as they did with Kenny Pickett.



<h2>Will the Steelers draft a quarterback?</h2>



The Steelers are expected to draft a quarterback according to multiple reports, but the big question is when it will happen. In the first round, their ideal choice would be Jaxson Dart or, in a very unlikely scenario, Shedeur Sanders if he falls to the 21st pick.


 

 


Another prospect that has been heavily mentioned in rumors for Pittsburgh and Mike Tomlin is Jalen Milroe from Alabama. He could still be available in the third round.

NFL News: Mike Tomlin and Steelers could draft a surprising quarterback according to Ben Roethlisberger

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> is still a possibility for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings">Minnesota Vikings</a>, according to the latest report from Dianna Russini. For several weeks now, the insider has maintained that the call could happen despite the team publicly backing J.J. McCarthy as their starting quarterback.



“I do think there’s a world, and I know Vikings fans don’t want to see it, whether it’s their hate for Aaron Rodgers, whether it’s they feel that JJ’s not getting a fair shake, whatever the reason is for why some Vikings fans don’t want to see Aaron Rodgers, they have to come to grips. There is a world that exists this year where Aaron Rodgers hangs out and the Minnesota Vikings pick up the phone and they make the call. It could happen.”



The Vikings undeniably have a roster to compete for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>, and that’s the reason why Rodgers isn’t fully convinced about signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the moment, despite strong interest from Mike Tomlin’s team.



<h2>Is Aaron Rodgers retiring or signing with Vikings?</h2>



Aaron Rodgers is not currently considering retirement from football, but that decision fully depends on which team becomes available in the coming months. As of today, the only option he has is the Pittsburgh Steelers.


 

 


However, if the veteran decides to wait, the Vikings might not be convinced by what they see in McCarthy and could end up making the call. The problem is if the Michigan prospect shines, then Rodgers could end up without a team, since the Steelers aren’t going to wait around until August.

NFL News: Vikings are reportedly ready to call Aaron Rodgers if they need a starting quarterback

Mike Tomlin and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> are still waiting for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a>, but in the meantime, they must make a very important decision in the upcoming draft. According to a report by Adam Schefter, only one name could convince them to select a quarterback in the first round.



“I was of the mind that Pittsburgh was not taking a quarterback in round one and I think the only quarterback that they would consider, me reading between the lines, will be Shedeur. But I can’t imagine he’s gonna slide to 21. So, would Pittsburgh be willing to trade up at a certain point to go get Shedeur Sanders if he gets past those other spots?”



Although the Steelers believe Rodgers is the best option to win now, the reality is that they need Ben Roethlisberger’s successor to be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> contenders in the long term. For this reason, this draft might be crucial.



<h2>Who will be Steelers starting QB?</h2>



Aaron Rodgers is reportedly the chosen one to be the starting quarterback for the Steelers, but it all depends on whether he will sign with the team. As a precaution, Pittsburgh has already signed Mason Rudolph.


 

 


However, in the long term, the answer should be found in the draft. In 2025, the names that have been mentioned are Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart, and Jalen Milroe, although many experts don’t see them as having the potential to be franchise quarterbacks.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-has-reportedly-confirmed-if-vikings-will-choose-him-over-j-j-mccarthy"></div>


The 2026 class will be much deeper at the quarterback position, with Arch Manning being the most sought-after player by teams. For this reason, many believe that Omar Khan is gathering enough capital with compensatory picks to make the big move.

Ben Roethlisberger predicted on his podcast Footbahlin that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> would sign with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>. Despite rumors of potential interest from the Minnesota Vikings, the legend believes the quarterback’s future lies with Mike Tomlin.



“Aaron, let’s be honest, if you’re going to be throwing to Dk Metcalf and telling everybody about it, you might as well just sign. What are we doing? I’m going to say it right here and right now. I really believe that he’s going to be a Steeler. I’m saying it.”



Although Big Ben also admitted that he believes Rodgers is waiting for Minnesota, the reality is that the only option for Aaron to pursue one last <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> next season is with the Steelers.



<h2>How long Steelers will wait for Aaron Rodgers?</h2>



The Steelers are willing to wait for Aaron Rodgers at least until training camp, according to the latest statements from the team’s owner, Art Rooney II, and the general manager, Omar Khan. Roethlisberger believes that eventually, Pittsburgh will set a deadline.


 

 


“Browns are done with it. Giants are done, they’ve got two guys. It’s down to Pittsburgh and Minnesota. I would think at some point you gotta be like: ‘Hey, you need to let us know before the draft.’ I think they’re going to draft a quarterback. It’s just a matter of how high they draft a quarterback.”
