Pittsburgh Steelers-ejer Art Rooney II fortalte tidligere på måneden, at han regnede med at vide, om quarterback Aaron Rodgers bliver i Pittsburgh ud over 2025-sæsonen allerede ved årets draft. Men alle tegn peger i disse dage på, at Rodgers tager længere tid til at træffe sin beslutning.
På et pressemøde tirsdag bekræftede Rooney imidlertid, at Rodgers endnu ikke har meddelt klubben sin endelige beslutning om at fortsætte. Rooney ville ikke give konkrete oplysninger om, hvornår svaret kommer, men understregede, at det er "varmt" at forvente mere klarhed, inden OTAs starter den 18. maj.
"Jeg ville ønske, jeg kunne fortælle jer, at vi er ved vejs ende med diskussionen, men vi er stadig i samtale med Aaron, og han er stadig i færd med at beslutte, hvad han vil gøre," sagde Rooney til radiostationen WDVE. "Jeg tror, vi er tæt på. Han har givet os en tidsramme og fortalt, hvad han kommer til at foretage sig de kommende uger. Jeg tror, vi får et svar snart – lad os sige det på den måde."
Steelers' cheftræner Mike McCarthy tilføjede tirsdag, at han ikke forventer, at det vil tage lang tid for Rodgers at komme i form, hvis han beslutter sig for at spille i 2026. Indtil da vil Will Howard og Mason Rudolph dele quarterback-rollen under holdets offseason-program.
