Why has Aaron Rodgers not signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers just yet? It turns out there is likely a very real reason for that. The Athletic’s NFL insider Dianna Russini believes that the holdup remains money. “Usually it’s money,” Russini said .
“Financials are always part of it. He does not need to sign and take some cheap deal. He knows the Steelers need him.
Do I think he was going to be willing to take less to play for a team that he thinks is a Super Bowl-caliber team, like the Minnesota Vikings? Absolutely. But I think this situation is different. There’s gonna be a number here that’s gonna make Aaron happy.
And I just don’t know if Pittsburgh is there yet.” Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk says that a high-level member of one team told him that Rodgers does not want to play in Pittsburgh, but rather, Minnesota. “I had somebody suggest to me yesterday, and I’m just sharing what I heard, what this person’s opinion is,” Florio said.
“It’s not a fact; it’s not a report. But it’s somebody who is in the ecosystem and isn’t a low-level employee. This is a high-level person with one of the teams.
The opinion is he doesn’t really want to play for the Steelers, and he’s waiting for Minnesota.” The Vikings have yet to completely shut the door on Rodgers coming in, and though they have shown confidence in J.J.
McCarthy, Rodgers could give them a bridge option. Whether it is Rodgers wanting more money, having Minnesota on his mind, or something else, the Steelers and Rodgers have yet to come to an agreement, and until that happens, Pittsburgh still has no certain starting quarterback.
