Aaron Rodgers' silence leaves Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback plans in limbo
Aaron Rodgers (via Getty Images) Aaron Rodgers' future in the NFL remains a mystery, which is now starting to affect the Pittsburgh Steelers' preparations for the 2025 season. Despite being widely speculated as Aaron Rodgers' most likely destination, the Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to receive any official communication from the four-time NFL MVP. With mandatory minicamp approaching, time is running out for a decision, and Pittsburgh's quarterback situation remains anything but settled. Pittsburgh Steelers waiting for Aaron Rodgers' decision as mandatory minicamp deadline nears Aaron Rodgers' preparation or lack thereof will be clear with PIT | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC The potential of Aaron Rodgers joining the Pittsburgh Steelers has been a subject of increasing rumormongering during the NFL offseason, particularly after the team engaged in talks with the seasoned quarterback earlier this year. But current news from NFL insiders indicates the Steelers remain in the dark over his plans. By Tom Pelissero, Aaron Rodgers has neither publicly disclosed nor privately told the Steelers anything about a decision. On a segment of The Rich Eisen Show, Pelissero underscored that 'Rodgers has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he's coming,' further stating that the team still runs without certainty despite having previously engaged in talks with the 40-year-old quarterback. ESPN's Adam Schefter pointed out that Pittsburgh's coming mandatory minicamp — slated for about June 10 — potentially can be a soft deadline for Rodgers to declare his plans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like IIMK Strategic Management IIMK ASMP Apply Now Undo "I think the Steelers' mandatory minicamp is next month. Forget the exact date, roughly June 10. I would think that we would get a decision from Aaron Rodgers shortly before then about whether or not he should play. To me, you can't miss that mandatory minicamp where you start gearing up. I guess you can, but that's not ideal," Schefter said. Rodgers' choice — or not making one at all — might have domino effects outside of the quarterback unit. The deadline for making a decision is rushing up with mandatory minicamp drawing near — and the quarterback situation in Pittsburgh is far from resolved. Also read: Aaron Rodgers nears Steelers move but Pittsburgh may have waited too long to seal the deal With days left before the Pittsburgh Steelers' mandatory minicamp, Aaron Rodgers' silence has placed a hanging haze of uncertainty over the situation. Whether he intends to return, retire, or pursue something else entirely, his choice will deeply define the Steelers' 2025 season path. In the meantime, the Steelers have to prepare for all eventualities, with or without Rodgers at the helm.

Fan travel tips for Lions 2025 season opener at Green Bay
The Lions are opening the season at Green Bay on Sunday, September 7 at 4:25pm ET. For those planning on going to Green Bay, here are some thoughts from my trip there in 2023. It was a Thursday night game and I was just one of many Lions fans that showed up that night to enjoy a dominant victory. In fact, there were so many fans that the Packers felt compelled to issue a statement about it afterwards. The following are some tips I picked up from my journey. I'm posting this now as opposed to later because if you want a hotel close to Lambeau Field, there are very limited options that need to be booked immediately upon schedule release. This article is unbiased and unsponsored. (Well, maybe a little biased against the Packers. You are on Lions Wire after all.) TRANSPORTATION ∎Rent a car as it's extremely convenient and easy to drive around the city. There is minimal traffic throughout. Lions schedule 2025: Study the Detroit Lions week-by-week schedule with times, TV and more. ∎I flew in to the Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) which was a quick 10-minute drive away from Lambeau Field. LODGING I stayed at the Lodge Kohler hotel which was a great place and highly recommended. PROS ∎Location, location, location. This hotel is across the street from the stadium so you can walk to and from the game within minutes. No worries about parking for the game if you stay here. Being able to walk home is a huge benefit if you like to consume "adult" beverages at the game or want to avoid drivers who have indulged too much. ∎The interior of the hotel including the rooms are nice and well kept. CONS ∎Expensive. ∎Must book immediately upon schedule release as most of the games will be booked out within hours or days. No refunds so you are financially committed. ∎You have to go to sleep with Packer legends like Brett Favre looking over you and probably judging you. Thus be ready to have recurring nightmares like this one... THINGS TO DO ∎ Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Museum Now this was impressive. In the atrium at Lambeau Field is this museum dedicated to Packers history. Be mentally prepared though, as a bit too much of the history involves devastating Lions losses like the Aaron Rodgers' Hail Mary. The museum is not just interesting for adults as there are many interactive exhibits that are fun for kids. The whole experience is very well-done and I think all NFL teams should try to create something like this. ∎ Lambeau Field tour There are different tiers of tours - I did the basic one called the "classic". The tour is probably worth doing but don't expect anything overly interesting. You get to see some suites, walk through the player tunnel, and get up close to the field. While you don't actually get to step on the field, it's nice to see the synthetic/natural blended turf up close. ∎ Titletown This is an area immediately adjacent to the stadium and right next to Lodge Kohler. It's a great place to walk around and hang out. There is a turf field, large children's playground, and some outdoor games like bocce. On gamedays, there will be all sorts of pre-game festivities going on here. There is also a huge ramp that you can walk up and down. This is the ramp featured every time you watch a Packers game. In the winter, there is snow sledding, but in early September, the ramp will be grass. ∎ Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary This was a really nice place to spend a couple hours especially with kids. It's like a small zoo with live birds along with interior exhibits. Maybe the most fun was feeding the gregarious gaggle of geese and friendly flock of ducks with sanctuary-approved corn you can buy there. ∎ Neville Public Museum This is another nice place to take kids as there are lots of interactive science exhibits in a relaxed atmosphere. Featured here is a huge Lego replica of Lambeau Field. FOOD ∎ The Booyah Shed This was my favorite dining experience in Green Bay. Lots of homey, comfort-style foods are available in a casual, laid-back, counter-serve setting. The eponymous booyah was a delicious stew of slow-cooked meat and vegetables. If you want to really fill up, get the poutine which is a deep-fried goodness of fries and cheese curds smothered with gravy. This is a dish that will heat you up from the inside on a cold Midwest day. ∎ Kroll's West This restaurant located right next to Lambeau Field allows you to peruse some Packers memorabilia while you eat. You can get typical diner-type foods along with the ubiquitous cheese curds of course. It's conveniently open on gameday but just be aware that on gamedays, the menu is shrunk and the prices are inflated. ∎Superman ice cream No trip to the Midwest is complete without Superman ice cream - especially on a hot, muggy early September day. If you are coming from Michigan where this delicious flavor is widely available, then you can skip this section. But if you are visiting from outside of the Midwest, it may have been a long while (if ever) since you had the pleasure of indulging in this legendary, regional ice cream flavor. The flavor is actually a combination of three. The red is cherry - a natural flavor that is colored appropriately. The yellow is plain vanilla that is spiked with a food coloring so bright yellow it appears to have emanated directly from our sun. The blue is a unique and delectable flavor called "blue moon" which is not a flavor that exists anywhere in the natural world (of Earth anyway, maybe Krypton.) The mixing of the artificial blue flavor with the more natural yellow and red flavors hits your every taste bud. Important note: Read the label to make sure you are getting the blue moon flavor as some versions will use the less-special, more-natural-sounding-but-still-completely-artificial blue raspberry flavor. You'll find this ice cream at any large grocery store in Green Bay like Meijer. Be aware that it won't actually be called "Superman" because that is a trademarked name, so look for some play on words like "Superscoop" or "Scooperman" along with the unmistakable red-yellow-blue, kindergarten color scheme. Feel free to polish off a quart right in the parking lot like my kids and I unabashedly did. GAMEDAY TIPS ∎If you have a bleacher seat (which is most of the stadium), the metal bench can be cold and hard so consider bringing a foam seat cushion or blanket to sit on. It probably won't be cold in early September, but it will still be hard. I brought an inexpensive, mouth-inflatable, flat cushion (like this one) which worked fine. You do have the option of renting a seatback at the game, but I can't speak to the ease or availability of doing that. LOCAL CITIZENRY & FINAL THOUGHTS ∎All the Packer fans and citizens of Green Bay I met were extremely nice and welcoming. Well, maybe except for the Packer fan who dumped beer on Amon-Ra St. Brown. ∎The city and surrounding areas of Green Bay make for a relaxing, enjoyable place to go for a road game. So go in with a pleasant attitude, have fun, and reserve any animosity you have for the Packers team on gameday.

2025 Steelers NFL Draft grades: Live grades for every Pittsburgh selection
2025 Steelers NFL Draft grades: Live grades for every Pittsburgh selection Show Caption Hide Caption What is Aaron Rodgers' future? Mina Kimes weighs in ESPN analyst Mina Kimes shares her thoughts on what is to come of Aaron Rodgers' NFL career. Sports Seriously The Pittsburgh Steelers have been aggressive in the 2025 offseason as they aim to recover from another disappointing playoff loss. For nearly two decades, Pittsburgh has been a model of consistency, achieving 21 consecutive seasons with a .500 record or better. However, the team has not enjoyed the postseason success that such a winning record would suggest. The Steelers' front office has been active this offseason, working to revamp the roster for the upcoming season. Their first significant move came in early March when they acquired wide receiver DK Metcalf for a second-round pick, No. 52 overall and a seventh-rounder (No. 223). The team boasts a strong defensive lineup, featuring several elite players including perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate T.J. Watt. Together with Cam Heyward, Alex Highsmith, linebacker Patrick Queen, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Joey Porter Jr. they form the core of the Steelers' defense. Despite this strong foundation, there are still a few positions that the Steelers aim to strengthen during the 2025 NFL Draft. Quarterback possibly being one of those spots. Russell Wilson signed with the Giants and Justin Fields joined the Jets in free agency. Former third-round pick Mason Rudolph was signed in free agency and provides a solid backup on the depth chart. However, fans and analysts alike expect Pittsburgh to significantly invest at the position. The franchise has dealt with uncertainty at the position ever since Ben Roethlisberger retired following the 2021 season. Even if Aaron Rodgers signs, he will be the oldest active player in the NFL, leaving the team with no long-term solution. The revamping process will continue in the 2025 NFL Draft, where the Steelers have six selections, including the 21st overall pick in the first round. Here's a look at the Steelers 2025 draft picks and USA TODAY Sports and the USA TODAY Network's grades for each of Pittsburgh's selections.

Russini's what I'm hearing, draft edition: The buzz about Giants, Sanders and the QB2 race
'There aren't a lot of Robert De Niros at the top of this draft.' That's how one NFL head coach described the lack of elite talent in this year's draft class — and based on multiple conversations with those in NFL scouting departments, he's not wrong. A current general manager added: 'I don't recall seeing a draft that was so light in the first 10 picks.' Advertisement Many evaluators have shared that some players expected to go in the top 10 are comparable to players who might still be on the board in the 20s. One league source said, 'Picks 4, 5, 6 and 7 can get the same player at 20 that they can get at their current slots.' However, there's still legitimate potential — especially for teams looking to fill out their roster with guys who can contribute right away. Another general manager described this draft to his scouts as, 'There's not a ton of touchdown makers, star corners or QBs, but it's all about the lines of scrimmage in this draft.' In the final hours until the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, I've been talking daily with NFL personnel about a variety of topics, and here's what I'm hearing: • Why the NFL world is talking about the Giants • The QB2 candidates — and who could select him • Aaron Rodgers' looming presence in his old stomping grounds • Owner involvement, for better or worse • What do pre-draft visits really mean? • Why teams read all those mock drafts (they really do!) • Want even more draft intel? Check out our Scoop City live show, 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday But first … 1.) The Browns, Giants and Patriots are fielding calls for the Nos. 2, 3, and 4 picks, per league sources. The majority of teams looking to move up see Colorado CB/WR Travis Hunter as their target should they be able to entice one of those teams, particularly Cleveland, with a suitable package. All three teams are listening. 2.) The New York Giants called the Tennessee Titans multiple times with offers to move up to the No. 1 pick. They were the most aggressive of the teams that reached out to new Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi. 3.) Sources say the Browns and the Giants, who own the first two picks of the second round, are in trade talks with teams at the back end of the first round. If either team trades up, the expectation is that it would be to select a quarterback (more on that later). Advertisement 4.) The Patriots, armed with the No. 4 pick, know they have a lot of needs, and while the prospect of trading up to draft Hunter or Penn State edge Abdul Carter is appealing, New England understands the importance of building a solid foundation — and how vital draft picks are to doing it. Expect Eliot Wolf, Mike Vrabel and company to use their top selection to beef up their offensive line, and attempt to plug other holes throughout the draft. 5.) The Jaguars (5) and Raiders (6) have expressed interest in moving up, I'm told, if the player they want is available. In fact, I was told the Jaguars are hoping to keep this draft 'electric' with the first-year tandem of head coach Liam Coen and GM James Gladstone, and an offensive player is on their radar. Jacksonville is also open to moving out for the right trade offer. 6.) Most of the teams picking in the top 10, outside of Tennessee, have discussed trading out and are open to more discussions with teams as we get closer to Thursday night. 7.) The Raiders, led by first-time general manager John Spytek, spent substantial time doing homework on Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty, but strong cases are being made in their draft room to go offensive line instead. 8.) Houston Texans GM Nick Caserio has made at least three draft-day trades every year and 18 total trades since becoming the team's GM in 2021. His most notable move came in 2023, selecting C.J. Stroud second before swinging big and trading up to No. 3 to take Will Anderson Jr. Whether it's jockeying up or down the board, Houston has shown a willingness to deal under Caserio — don't expect that to change in 2025. The Texans have been actively making calls about a potential move up, so don't be surprised if Houston makes a jump on Thursday night. 9.) The Bears have been linked to Jeanty for weeks, and they are hoping they can snag him at 10. 10.) The Falcons are focused on building up their defense with pass rushers — Tennessee's James Pearce Jr. and Marshall's Mike Green are in play for Atlanta. 11.) Don't expect the same kind of fireworks from the Broncos, one year after they took Bo Nix. Sean Payton does fall in love with players, but the sense I get right now is that Denver is comfortable with sticking at pick No. 20 and selecting the player they want — or trading back. I heard they love some of the running backs, but not enough to move up. 12.) Many sources around the league expect the Cowboys to target an offensive skill position with the No. 12 pick. Texas WR Matthew Golden and Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan are names that I'm hearing could interest Dallas. 13.) Tight end Tyler Warren was Penn State's Swiss Army knife in 2024, but what type of role could he have in a Justin Fields-led offense? Expect the Jets to have interest in tight ends, including the Mackey Award winner, with the No. 7 pick. 14.) The San Francisco 49ers are expected to stick and pick, hoping for an edge rusher. Advertisement 15.) The Vikings are interested in trading back to recoup more draft capital. They only have four picks in this draft right now. 16.) Expect the Rams to once again show interest in a tight end in the first round. Last year, Los Angeles tried — and failed — to move up to select Brock Bowers. I'm told Sean McVay and Les Snead could once again try to move up to get their guy. 17.) The Chiefs could be interested in moving up a couple of slots, depending on the price. 18.) The Dolphins are open to trading down. 19.) Players who could be traded during the draft include QBs Kirk Cousins, Aidan O'Connell, Will Levis and Sam Howell. 20.) The Browns, Steelers and possibly Vikings could be involved in a Cousins trade. Minnesota is looked at as the least likely scenario, given their preference for J.J. McCarthy and that Cousins would need to sign off on any trade he is involved in. It's believed that Cousins would be against any trade that involves sending him to a situation involving a young QB, similar to the situation he faced in Atlanta last year. If a trade were to happen, I'd expect it to go down on Saturday. No team has been generating more buzz around the NFL than the New York Giants — and league sources I spoke to seem split on what they'll do. It's widely known that both head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen are running out of time, the roster has glaring needs, and the pressure to turn Big Blue into a contender again is real, especially in a division with the defending Super Bowl champions. One head coach asked: 'Can they really put their future — and maybe their jobs — in the hands of a QB room led by Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston?' There's a dilemma at No. 3 overall. Is it worth spending that pick on a quarterback, even if they aren't sold on one? Or would it be smarter to grab the best blue-chip talent on the board and find a different way to address QB? Advertisement An AFC GM summarized New York's conundrum as: 'Throw a Hail Mary and save yourself or do what's good for the team's future?' The Giants made waves last week by scheduling last-minute private workouts with quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders, Jalen Milroe and Tyler Shough. I'm told those workouts didn't necessarily seal any decisions, but it's clear New York is doing its homework. The team had Sanders ranked as its No. 1 quarterback headed into the combine, but things have since shifted. For now, I'm told they want to be ready for anything — including the possibility of drafting a non-quarterback at No. 3 and then trading back into the first round later to grab 'their guy' at QB. Which brings us to … With Cam Ward expected to go to Tennessee with the No. 1 pick, the rest of the QB options come with their own set of concerns and questions. Sanders is easily the most discussed quarterback in this class and, according to evaluators around the league, his value is all over the map. One veteran offensive coach I spoke with had concerns not about Sanders' personality (which he likes), but about how his game will translate. 'Show me a QB that takes a lot of sacks in college and can translate his game to the NFL,' the coach said. It's a fair point. Sanders was sacked 92 times over two seasons at Colorado. He spent a lot of time running for his life. Dane Brugler, The Athletic's draft expert, noted recently that Sanders' three worst games on tape came against Colorado's three toughest Big-12 opponents. So the question becomes: Can a team like the Giants — with Daboll and Schoen under real pressure — afford to take on a quarterback who might need time to sit, learn and adjust? One name that keeps coming up more and more is Shough of Louisville. Despite being a bit older (he'll turn 26 in September), there are coaches out there who believe in him — one even told me he thinks Shough could end up being the best QB in this class if he lands in the right situation. This coach had him graded above Cam Ward. Whether it's Sanders, Shough, Jaxson Dart or Milroe, the options are limited, but don't underestimate the desperation factor. It's a tough year to be hunting for a franchise QB, which makes the situations in places like New Orleans and Pittsburgh — both of whom want to add a quarterback this draft — very interesting. Stop me if you've heard this before: The Steelers are in a holding pattern in regards to Aaron Rodgers. Sources tell me Pittsburgh has not received further updates from the four-time MVP following his Pat McAfee Show appearance last Thursday, in which he said he was 'open to anything and attached to nothing' while he continued to focus on off-field matters. Recently, my colleague Mike Silver spoke to Rodgers' former Packers and Jets teammate and current Ram Davante Adams about his friend's next move. He believes Rodgers still wants to play football. Advertisement In the meantime, the Steelers must turn their attention to the draft — specifically their first-round selection, No. 21 overall. Signing Rodgers does not remove the need to secure a long-term QB for GM Omar Khan, but with Rodgers' status in limbo and Pittsburgh's offseason program already underway, the urgency is there. Additionally, Pittsburgh has been doing extensive work on running backs after Najee Harris signed with the Chargers in free agency. This RB class gives the Steelers a real chance to find value in the middle rounds — even after dealing their second-round pick to Seattle for DK Metcalf. As for New Orleans: After re-doing Derek Carr's deal in lieu of cutting him, Carr's shoulder issue does not dissuade the Saints from their initial plan: landing a QB in this draft. With a talented group of defensive players likely available at No. 9, the sense I get is that New Orleans would be open to taking the best player available in Round 1 and dipping into the QB pool later on. The reasons behind the curious timing of Carr's shoulder news remain unknown, but it's possible that he did not want to find himself in a similar situation to Cousins a year ago — playing with a highly drafted QB sitting behind him. How the Saints navigate the situation with Carr is interesting, especially given the hefty dead cap hits he would cost the team the next two seasons. The San Francisco 49ers and Brock Purdy are inching closer to a long-term extension, according to sources close to the situation. The contract is expected to include an average annual value that ranks in the top 10 in the NFL (and at Purdy's position). Purdy showed up for the start of 49ers OTAs, while star teammate George Kittle did not. Kittle wants to become the NFL's highest-paid tight end, per a league source. Trey McBride reset the market earlier this offseason; the 25-year-old inked a four-year, $76 million pact with Arizona. San Francisco's offers to Kittle have thus far been rebuffed, and the two sides remain apart as Kittle, who will be 32 in October, enters the final year of his deal. I'm told no trade request has been made, but other teams are keeping an eye on it. It's always interesting to see how teams operate around this time of year. For some, the GM stayed in place after 2024 while a new head coach was installed (Chicago, New England, New Orleans). For many, it's simply running things back again. And for others, such as the Jaguars, Jets and Raiders, it's a full regime change. Advertisement How will these new (or reworked) braintrusts operate? Who will have the final say? Will certain owners intervene? It all bears monitoring as those in the war rooms assemble the futures of their teams. Don't discount owners when it comes to discussions this time of year. I was speaking with a veteran head coach who estimates that 13 to 14 of the league's owners are heavily involved in their teams' processes — sometimes speaking to the character of the players they want their front offices to draft, or even being more direct in certain cases. It's a reminder that the power dynamics around draft time are more complicated than just the front office and coaching staff. Ownership can have a major impact on decisions — for better or worse. Despite a lack of top-end talent, this draft class does have its positions of strength: specifically, running back. A lot was made after the 2024 season about the key roles Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs played in helping their new teams make the playoffs. Late last season, people wondered if it could revitalize the market for the position. Fast-forward to now, and Barkley has reset the market again after inking a hefty two-year extension in March. But beyond Aaron Jones' two-year, $20 million deal with Minnesota, no other RB contract handed out this year has even topped $11 million. The largest free-agent deal went to Rico Dowdle, who left Dallas to join Carolina on a one-year, $6.25 million pact. A big reason can be found in some of the names we will hear called on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Jeanty and Omarion Hampton headline a class that also features Quinshon Judkins, Kaleb Johnson and CFP fan favorite Cam Skattebo. When these backs will be selected remains to be seen, but any team interested in one should have a wealth of options to choose from. I'll have more on the 'Scoop City' live draft special (at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday), but for now, I'll leave you with these five thoughts … What a prospect visit really means: Many teams and fans like to read the tea leaves leading up to the draft, including what teams will do based on the 30 player visits they have set up over the past few weeks. As one successful general manager explained: 'Just because a player visits doesn't necessarily mean the team is interested. Sometimes it's to be certain they are actually out on a player.' Advertisement This is also a chance to follow-up on players with medical questions or new injuries, especially if they didn't work out at the NFL Combine. Another head coach shared that some teams will even host prospects that won't be drafted this week, as a way to get ahead in recruiting them as undrafted free agents. It's all about collecting information, and sometimes just getting ahead of other teams. Is interior O-line where it's at? Multiple decision-makers and scouts seem to think they can find solid value in centers and guards in this draft — players who can give you close to the same level of production without the big price tag. Because of that, I wouldn't be surprised if some teams double up on those positions. It's a smart way to stretch your cap and still build quality depth. How all those mock drafts are put to use: There have been hundreds of mock drafts drawn up over the last year, and, believe it or not, teams read them. In fact, there is one team that keeps score of which draft experts and insiders get the most accurate information over the years! One general manager said, 'Mocks give you a feel for where a player might land. They're not just guessing; they're getting info from scouts, execs, agents … so even if the final order's off, the buzz around a player's range usually comes from somewhere legit.' Don't forget about the lingering free agents: Aaron Rodgers remains unsigned, but plenty of other veteran talent is on the market, waiting for teams to finish plugging roster holes they aren't able to fill at the draft. Stephon Gilmore, Gerald Everett, Asante Samuel Jr., J.K. Dobbins, C.J. Mosley and others could be in line to sign contracts once the draft is in the rearview. Final words of wisdom: As you are getting ready to watch the draft and feel good about what your team is going to do based on need and options, I'll share with you what a Super Bowl-winning coach once told me: 'Don't ever discount that there are dumbass teams.'

National reactions: Jets get praise after Aaron Rodgers' commentary
National reactions: Jets get praise after Aaron Rodgers' commentary Aaron Rodgers had one more in him... but it might not have went to according to his plan. The former New York Jets quarterback joined the "Pat McAfee Show" for a conversation once again and had plenty to say about his ex team. A good chunk of it was aimed at New York's new head coach in Aaron Glenn. Rodgers mentioned a variety of issues he had with the way his departure from the Jets went... but his candid chat had many questioning him after he revealed his thoughts with few questioning the team. That likely wasn't part of the plan for here's a roundup of national media reaction to Rodgers' discussing his departure from the Jets:
