Steelers Face Internal Debate Over Aaron Rodgers Signing

The Pittsburgh Steelers are awaiting a decision from Aaron Rodgers on whether he will sign with them or retire, creating uncertainty as the team approaches mandatory minicamp. Despite Rodgers' visit to the Steelers' facility and indications of mutual interest, he has yet to commit, citing personal issues that require his attention before returning to football. Analysts including ESPN's Mike Wilbon and NFL insider Dan Graziano have expressed skepticism about Rodgers' current abilities and impact, warning that he is no longer the MVP-caliber quarterback he once was and cautioning the Steelers against bringing potential drama into a typically steady team environment. Wilbon emphasized that Rodgers has struggled in recent seasons and questioned whether adding him aligns with the Steelers' history of smart decision-making. Meanwhile, former Titans GM Ran Carthon highlighted concerns about Rodgers not being present during offseason activities, which could hinder team chemistry. The Steelers have Mason Rudolph as a fallback option, with some believing the team could still be fine without Rodgers if he ultimately does not sign.
