Ever since the NY Jets showed him the exit door, allegedly despite pleading for a spot in the team for another season, Aaron Rodgers is silent. He only gives hints. After playing the 2024 season ender, he claimed the darkness surrounded him, with a possibility of retirement. But as a free agent, he visited the Steelers who offered a 1-year $30 million deal, with $10.5 million guaranteed. Yet he refuses to commit, keeping his options open.

He even developed a good rapport with the HC Mike Tomlin. This has reportedly forced the head coach to consider taking back his offer and shutting down the gate on A-rod.
