Behind the Steel Curtain
The Steelers continue to wait on the four-time MVP
Pittsburgh Steelers Team President Art Rooney II said during the NFL Draft that he expects Aaron Rodgers to join the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“We’re still kind of getting the same signals that we’ve been getting recently,” Rooney said. “He does want to come here, so I do think we may get word soon.”
Rooney also said back at the beginning of April that the franchise would not “wait forever” for Rodgers to make his decision. And now, Rooney seems to think this could be coming to an end soon. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Rooney said that the team will continue to wait, but the wait won’t be much longer.
“A little while longer,” Rooney said. I’ll say the same thing.”
Rodgers went on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he revealed that multiple people close to him were battling cancer, which would explain the “personal reasons” he discussed on The Pat McAfee Show earlier in the spring.
For the time being, the Steelers continue to wait, as do the fans, for an announcement that Rodgers is Pittsburgh-bound.
