The “Aaron Rodgers-to-Pittsburgh” waiting game may finally be coming to an end — and insider Ian Rapoport weighed in on how the Steelers currently view the situation.
Making an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rapoport first analyzed how Falcons QB Kirk Cousins could be holding onto hope for a “what if” scenario with the Steelers — a discussion that ultimately led the insider to give his opinion on what is likely to unfold soon:
“[The Steelers] think Rodgers is coming. I think Rodgers is gonna be a member of the Steelers.”
To support his bold take, Rapoport referenced Steelers President Art Rooney II’s comments about being confident Rodgers will sign with the Steelers. The insider clarified that the only time he felt unsure of the signing was when he heard the four-time MVP discuss retirement as a possibility.
Whether you love him or hate him, Rooney and Rapoport’s confidence in Rodgers playing for the Steelers is great news — because it means this never-ending, speculative, and distracting rollercoaster may finally be coming to an end.
