If you look at the calendar, you will see that the Pittsburgh Steelers have only been waiting on Aaron Rodgers for a little over a month since the new league year began. It feels like it’s been an eternity, and there’s a real possibility the Steelers will head into the draft without knowing whether Rodgers is actually joining the team. For obvious reasons, that can complicate things for Pittsburgh.
Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger thinks Pittsburgh needs an answer from Rodgers a couple of days before the draft in order to go into the draft well-prepared.
“If I’m the Steelers, I’m saying, ‘Hey Aaron, I need to know by like, Tuesday of next week,'” Roethlisberger said on his Footbahlin podcast which aired on Tuesday.
