The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a familiar position this offseason, waiting to see if veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers will finally make his decision.
With OTAs underway and Minicamp approaching, the franchise continues operating without clear direction on their most important position.
The uncertainty hasn’t stopped Pittsburgh from dropping hints about their interest in the four-time MVP.
Recent comments from former Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley have added another layer to the ongoing speculation.
“I still believe, like I’ve said all along, he’s (Aaron Rodgers) the best option for the Steelers, for the situation they’re in at this time. Maybe he signs, maybe he doesn’t. If he does sign, maybe it looks great, maybe it looks average, who knows? But I still think it’s the best option, and one I’d be willing to take a risk on, knowing that you only get so many shots at this,” Haley said on SiriusXM Radio.
Todd Haley discussed why he still believes QB Aaron Rodgers makes sense in Pittsburgh with Mike Tomlin.

Haley’s endorsement carries weight given his history with the organization.
The former coordinator believes Rodgers presents more upside than current option Mason Rudolph, despite the inherent risks involved.
His confidence stems partly from his trust in head coach Mike Tomlin’s ability to manage personalities and unite the locker room.
The assessment points to Rodgers’ experience and football intelligence as game-changing factors. Haley emphasized how the veteran’s ability to make in-game adjustments could stabilize an offense that has struggled with consistency in recent seasons.
Growing confidence suggests the Steelers represent Rodgers’ most viable landing spot.
The groundwork appears laid for a potential partnership, though nothing remains certain about the quarterback’s ultimate decision.
His recent podcast appearances and subtle hints about Pittsburgh during public events have only intensified the speculation.
The Steelers have prepared for various scenarios throughout this process. Their current focus remains on the existing roster, understanding that Rodgers may never materialize as an option.
