Not everyone is buying the Aaron Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers hype just yet—even with his recent UCLA throwing session with DK Metcalf.
Although Steelers President Art Rooney II remained optimistic that the four-time MVP would make his way to the Steel City, the legendary Ben Roethlisberger argued that Rodgers may be prolonging the signing for one massive reason—a potential opening with the Minnesota Vikings.
The future Hall of Fame Steelers quarterback elaborated on the never-ending Rodgers-to-Pittsburgh rumors on his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger:
"I think Aaron [Rodgers] is secretly still holding out for Minnesota—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?"
He further added that Rodgers may see the Minnesota Vikings as a more complete team—a perfect scenario for the 41-year-old QB chasing his second Super Bowl ring.
Is Rodgers truly holding onto the hope that the Vikings could secretly want his services in 2025, or is it truly the upcoming Big Night AHT on April 9th with Pat McAfee that's to blame for the delay?
