The Pittsburgh Steelers, seeking to distance themselves from past cultural significance, announced on Wednesday that they are prepared to wait for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to potentially join the team.

“I’m optimistic we can get a deal wrapped sometime within the next three to 100 days,” said GM Omar Khan. Khan acknowledged the team’s fans have endured prolonged disappointment and suggested the organization is working to match their level of disaffection. “But trust me, we’re working on it,” he added, offering a sly wink to reporters.

Team owner and president Art Rooney II echoed Khan’s remarks, stating, “It has long been the dream of both myself and the Rooney family to watch our beloved Steelers flop around like a fish for months on end, until they run out of oxygen and at last fall, deathly silent, into the afterlife, unnoticed and unloved.”

Rooney also expressed disappointment in the team’s 2025 campaign, citing “overly ambitious throws downfield” and “a division title that none of us actually wanted to win.”
