Aaron Rodgers can hint at a Steelers signing all he wants — but one insider claims he hasn’t guaranteed a commitment to Pittsburgh, even by mandatory minicamp.
On a recent episode of The Rich Eisen Show, insider Tom Pelissero had this to say about Rodgers potentially skipping out on the Steelers:

“I have been told that he has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he’s coming. Certainly, all indications — if you just look at it logically — are that he’s coming, based on his comments about, ‘Hey, there’s a team that plays in Chicago I might play for; I’m not playing in New Orleans,’” Pelissero remarked. “He took one visit [with the Steelers]. He’s been throwing with DK Metcalf. He talks all the time with Mike Tomlin. I know he’s talked with Arthur Smith. So, there are all these signs that he’s coming, but he has not affirmatively said, ‘Hey, June 9 — book me a ticket, I’m coming in and I’m going to join this team.’”
The fact that Rodgers hasn’t given any affirmations — even behind closed doors — is troubling, as the four-time MVP has inadvertently held the Steelers hostage at quarterback this offseason with this never-ending waiting game.
