NFL insider Dianna Russini suggests that Aaron Rodgers has not signed with the Steelers because he may be waiting on the Vikings. Russini speculates that Rodgers could potentially be holding out until the completion of the Vikings' offseason activities, particularly to see the outcome of decisions regarding players like J.J. McCarthy.
Russini, appearing on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, indicated that Rodgers seems to desire a scenario similar to Tom Brady's, aiming for a final Super Bowl pursuit. She expressed doubts about the Steelers' readiness to win and highlighted the Vikings as a more suitable team for Rodgers. The lack of updates from the Steelers on the Rodgers situation further suggests that Pittsburgh might need to consider moving on from pursuing Rodgers in 2025.
