Despite almost one month having passed since the start of 2025 free agency, former New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers still finds himself without a team, and has yet to indicate when he will make a decision.
Several higher-ups within the Pittsburgh Steelers organization, such as HC Mike Tomlin and team president Art Rooney II, felt optimistic about his arrival—so why hasn't he signed?

McCarthy is still unproven at quarterback, as the 2024 first-rounder suffered a season-ending knee injury before playing a snap in the regular season. Could Rodgers ultimately be waiting to see if the Vikings will reconsider before signing with the Steelers?
