The Pittsburgh Steelers hope Aaron Rodgers will be in uniform and practicing with the team by next week. Until then, the organization is focused on fine-tuning its future. Offering a Friday update on the Rodgers’ saga, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says the team’s brass isn’t expecting a decision this Memorial Day weekend and isn’t even in town.
“The whole Steelers’ front office is out at a retreat for scouting purposes they do every year,” Fowler said on SportsCenter. “It’s not really on the radar for [Rodgers’ signing] to happen right now.”
Clearly, this is not a team that thinks Rodgers will offer an immediate answer, even as he publicly implies he’ll end up in Pittsburgh.
