The Steelers legend weighed in on the latest episode Footbahlin
Pittsburgh Steelers fans continue to wait day after day to get the notification on Aaron Rodgers officially signing with Pittsburgh. Almost a month into the new league year, that news has yet to come, and all that has taken place for the last three weeks is speculation and waiting. Everyone seems to have their thoughts and theories on why Rodgers hasn’t signed yet, including Ben Roethlisberger. On the latest episode of Footbahlin, Roethlisberger revealed why he believes Rodgers remains unsigned.
“I think Aaron is secretly still holding out for Minnesota,” Roethlisberger said. “Which is why he hasn’t signed with the Steelers. Why else would you go throw with DK and working out, and blast it to everybody that ‘I’m throwing to these guys,’ but you won’t sign?”
While Roethlisberger may be onto something there, it does look all but certain that Rodgers will end up with the Steelers. As pointed out previously, Rodgers will want to control when the story breaks, which is why Pat McAfee’s live show in Pittsburgh on April 9th is a date Steelers fans should circle. In 2023, Rodgers revealed his plans to play for the New York Jets before getting traded from Green Bay to New York. While most are past getting impatient and are just flat out over and done with this never-ending saga (and understandably so), an end will come.
