According to 93.7 The Fan sports director Jeff Hawthorn, Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager Omar Khan has already told Aaron Rodgers that they need to know in the next month if Rodgers is planning to come back and re-sign with the Steelers.
Despite waiting on Rodgers last offseason, the Steelers signed Mason Rudolph in free agency and drafted Will Howard in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft. These moves were simply for depth and the Steelers did this with the hope that Rodgers would sign, which he finally did in June.
