Aaron Rodgers drops massive hint that he's going to sign with the Steelers

NFL fans are months into Aaron Rodgers' dalliance with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and there's still been no clarity on whether the quarterback will sign with the team. A resolution could finally be coming soon, however, as Rodgers dropped a major hint about his intentions during a Q&A on Saturday.


While attending an event hosted by rapper Mike Stud, Rodgers was asked whether he would ever consider playing for the Chicago Bears. Rodgers quickly said "no" before implying that he would visit the team as an opposing player in 2025.


"No, but I believe there's a team that might play in Chicago this year," Rodgers said. "On a road trip. I don't know. Not sure."


It was a cryptic answer until fans realized the Steelers play the Bears at Soldier Field in Week 12. While some fans thought maybe Rodgers could be referring to the New Orleans Saints, who also play the Bears on the road and need a quarterback after Derek Carr retired, Rodgers told fans he didn't want to live in Louisiana.


That leaves the Steelers, who have been the most aggressive team pursuing the veteran quarterback. Rodgers met with the team back in March and threw to newly acquired receiver DK Metcalf shortly after that meeting. Steelers owner Art Rooney II said Thursday the team was willing to wait "a little while longer" for Rodgers to make a decision. Rodgers' answer Saturday seems to suggest he's already made up his mind.


It's tough to read Rodgers' answer any other way. Why mention that an unrelated team is playing the Bears on a road trip during a question about whether he would play for the Bears? The whole thing seemed like a major hint that Rodgers expected to play the Bears at Soldier Field in 2025. While fans can do a team-by-team breakdown of the Bears' home-game opponents, the only one still heavily rumored to be in on Rodgers is the Steelers.


Rodgers, 41, is looking for a bounce-back season after throwing 28 touchdowns against 11 interceptions with the New York Jets last year. While those numbers look solid on the surface, the team went 5-12 and struggled on offense. The Jets responded by signing Justin Fields to a two-year deal and letting Rodgers walk.


Despite being connected to the Steelers for months, Rodgers still hasn't signed with the club. During an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Podcast" on Thursday, Rodgers revealed there are people close to him dealing with cancer, which might be delaying his decision. Rodgers made similar comments during an appearance on Pat McAfee's show in April.


Once Rodgers is ready to fully focus on football, it sure sounds like the Steelers are going to be his landing spot.
