Read more: Peyton Manning Doesn't Hold Back About Aaron Rodgers Amid Steelers Rumors During an appearance on 93.7 The Fan, Marino revealed some brief thoughts on Rodgers and the Steelers. He still think the future Hall of Famer has top-notch talent. "I still think Aaron has some game," Marino said. "He does. He can throw it as good as anybody that has ever thrown the football. If his mind's into it and he's ready to go and that works. I don't think it would be an issue with the Steelers." However, Marino also noted that Rodgers needs to really want to play another year and to play for Pittsburgh for things to work out. "But you gotta have someone that really wants to play there," he said. "And he's getting older. So I don't know what his mindset is. But he does still have talent." Last season with the New York Jets in his first full season since tearing his Achilles, Rodgers completed 63 percent of his passes for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He performed well and played better than many other quarterbacks around the NFL.

Steelers rookie minicamp standout WR receives George Pickens' No. 14 at OTAs
Steelers rookie minicamp standout WR receives George Pickens' No. 14 at OTAs Say hello to the Steelers newest #14... Montana Lemonious-Craig. — 93.7 The Fan (@937theFan) May 27, 2025 Out with the old, in with the new — it didn't take the Steelers long to replace George Pickens' No. 14 in Pittsburgh. It was reported that Arizona WR Montana Lemonious-Craig, who signed with the Steelers on Day 1 of OTAs, was spotted wearing Pickens' old number on Tuesday. Lemonious-Craig attended the Steelers rookie minicamp a few weeks ago and clearly made the right impression, as Pittsburgh wasted little time bringing him onto the 90-man roster. Pickens' time in No. 14 didn't just end with the Steelers, as the ex-Steelers WR was spotted wearing No. 13 a week ago at Cowboys OTAs. While the organization likely didn't mean anything by it, Lemonious-Craig taking Pickens' No. 14 speaks volumes about the former Steelers wideout making himself both expendable and replaceable with his constant on- and off-the-field antics. Will Lemonious-Craig exceed expectations at OTAs — and potentially training camp — to earn himself and his new No. 14 a spot on the Steelers' 53-man roster?

Rumor: Aaron Rodgers spotted leaving Pittsburgh hotel — what does it mean for Steelers?
Rumor: Aaron Rodgers spotted leaving Pittsburgh hotel — what does it mean for Steelers? Aaron Rodgers has been spotted in Pittsburgh — as a Steelers fan claimed on 93.7 The Fan that the four-time MVP was seen leaving a Strip District hotel. On Friday, "Brett from the South Side" called in to tell The Pomp and Joe Show on 93.7 The Fan that Rodgers was spotted leaving an unnamed hotel: 'So Joe, here's the deal. I'm not a flaky guy and I don't know what this means — I'm not going to say he's signing today, announcing it today, or in two months — but, in the Strip District, this morning at 6:15 a.m., I saw Aaron Rodgers coming out of a hotel." Brett told 93.7 The Fan that he owns a cleaning company and asked them not to share the specific hotel name in order to protect his business. Apparently, Brett confirmed with the hotel that Rodgers was staying there — but even if the story is true, what does it mean for the Steelers? Well, the Strip District is less than five miles from the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex — and Steelers OTAs kick off on May 27. If the sighting proves to be accurate, is there any correlation between Rodgers staying in Pittsburgh so close to the start of OTAs — and if so, when will the news be made official?

Steelers Create 'Verbal' Agreement with QB Aaron Rodgers Per Report
The deadlines keep coming and going, meaning they never existed. The calendar has passed over halfway through May now and there is still no final decision from Aaron Rodgers on his future. The former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets quarterback is a free agent with two choices in front of him. Advertisement He will either retire, ending a remarkable NFL career assuredly bound for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Or, Rodgers will choose to play one more season and join the Pittsburgh Steelers. And maybe Door No. 1 has already been chosen. All other teams have committed to or have a quarterback plan in place. While the Steelers technically have Mason Rudolph at the ready, they are banking on Rodgers to give them one year to bridge to their next franchise quarterback. Rodgers has spent time working out with DK Metcalf this offseason, the Steelers have traded away their problem-making wideout and have a defense that can shoulder the load for the aged quarterback. But it would seem none of that matters. Advertisement Rodgers remains wildly unpredictable in these latter stages of his career and this decision has come on his terms entirely. The situation since free agency, the draft and even after Pittsburgh has their schedule for 2025 has not changed. However, Rodgers' biographer, Ian O'Connor, believes that decision his coming and it may be to the benefit of the Steelers. "I do think there will be a happy ending, at least for him and we will find out for the Steelers and their fan base," he said during an appearance on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. "If I had $100 to put down, my feeling is he will be in uniform June 10th, for the start of the mandatory minicamp." That is certainly a positive for Steelers fans who want him on the team. There are concerns about Rodgers' current "personal issues'' that he mentioned on a recent appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," but O'Connor does not think those will impact a return. Advertisement "I did reach out, and I think I have a good sense of what that is, and I don't think it would prevent him from playing football with the Steelers." O'Connor - who has a history with Rodgers and knows him better than most - even goes so far as to suggest that there is a sort of "verbal'' agreement here. 'I just think verbally, behind the scenes, not that he guaranteed it, but he's told them, 'Listen, I'm gonna play for you. I just don't want to go there and then miss part of mandatory minicamp because of my personal issues.'' Except for the "personal issues'' part? That sounds promising. At the same time, Rodgers could also go in a completely different direction and dump on that assumption. So maybe the Steelers know. But Steelers fans certainly do not.

Insider: Aaron Rodgers has Remained in Constant Contact with Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers after a game on Oct. 20, 2024. -- Ed Thompson / Steelers Now NFL insider James Palmer reports free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers has maintained a line of communication with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It remains to be seen when free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers will make a decision on if and where he wants to continue playing in 2025. But NFL insider James Palmer provided a promising update for those hoping he will eventually land with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Advertisement Palmer wasn't able to give any more insight as to when Rodgers will make his decision but hints things are still pointing towards him signing with the Steelers. 'Aaron Rodgers has remained in relatively constant contact with Mike Tomlin and the Steelers,' Palmer said on Pittsburgh's 93.7 The Fan. The news doesn't come as a surprise. It's clear that Pittsburgh is all in on Rodgers after only using a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Ohio State quarterback Will Howard. That has caused many to believe the Steelers have lost all of their leverage with Rodgers, but his options have all but run out as well. Advertisement In addition to Pittsburgh, Rodgers has also been linked to the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants and Cleveland Browns. However, the Vikings traded for quarterback Sam Howell during the draft, the Giants traded back into the first round to draft quarterback Jaxson Dart and the Browns drafted two quarterbacks in Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. That has left Rodgers' decision down to the Steelers or retirement, barring an unforeseen injury elsewhere. Rodgers has looked far from his four-time NFL MVP self, too. In 2024, he threw for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while leading the New York Jets to a very disappointing 5-12 finish. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers during a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Oct. 20, 2024. — Ed Thompson / Steelers Now Rodgers revealed he has been focused on dealing with personal matters this offseason. Advertisement 'Right now my focus is, and has been, and will continue to be on my personal life,' he said. But with no timeline yet to be set, it's still unclear when this saga will finally end.
