Aaron Rodgers: In contact with SteelersMay 07, 2025 | 11:30 AM

The Steelers remain in contract with Rodgers and hope he'll eventually sign, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys makes Pittsburgh a less attractive destination for a QB in general, but it won't necessarily impact Rodgers' decision between the Steelers and retirement, especially if he already expected Pickens to be dealt. Reports in mid-April suggested the 41-year-old was focused on his personal life and eventually would either retire or sign with Pittsburgh. There's been no report on a specific timeline for that decision, but the Steelers presumably would appreciate knowing before OTAs begin May 27.
