On Thursday, free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke his silence since he was released from the New York Jets. He did this via the Pat McAfee Show. Rodgers has been closely linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers, with even Steelers ownership feeling confident about Rodgers joining the Steelers.
However, after listening to Rodgers speak, we have zero confidence that Rodgers has any interest in playing the NFL at all, much less for the Steelers. Rodgers said plenty without saying a lot in the interview about where his head is right now and his overall lack of excitement about being a Steeler at all.
The only prudent move for the Steelers at this point is to move on from Rodgers and come up with another plan. Whether that is to commit to Mason Rudolph as the starter, draft a quarterback high and make it a competition, call the Atlanta Falcons about trading for Kirk Cousins or something else, the plans should no longer include Rodgers.
This whole situation has devolved into an embarrassing situation for the Steelers. With just a week until the 2025 NFL draft, Pittsburgh must assume Rodgers isn't coming and never will. Head coach Mike Tomlin was very casual when speaking about the potential of Rodgers joining the Steelers and said there were no worries about a timeline prior to training camp. As ridiculous as this sounded at the time, it sounds even worse after Rodgers' interview.
