Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers after a game on Oct. 20, 2024. -- Ed Thompson / Steelers Now ESPN insider Dan Graziano reveals the point of no return for the Pittsburgh Steelers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Pittsburgh Steelers have remained patient with quarterback Aaron Rodgers this offseason, and that will likely continue a little while longer. But ESPN insider Dan Graziano revealed there is a deadline that the Steelers would look to move on.

'As of now, we are just waiting on Aaron Rodgers.' Pittsburgh has done its best to put some pressure on Rodgers to make a decision. President Art Rooney II said at the NFL owners meetings in March that the team will 'not wait forever' for Rodgers and he reiterated last month that his stance hasn't changed.

Rodgers knows that, which is why he has the ability to take as long as he wants.

'I've figured it out the last year when I've been in the weeds with these people who are close to me that have cancer,' Rodgers said. Rodgers will have to make a commitment at some point if he hopes to continue playing, though. Nearly two months have now passed, and it's still unclear when a decision from Rodgers will come. If Graziano is right about Pittsburgh's deadline, the four-time NFL MVP still has plenty of time to drag this saga out even longer.
