Those who do, tend to keep things to themselves regarding Rodgers and his process.
Well, his longtime teammate and favorite WR while playing for the Green Bay Packers, WR Jordy Nelson, recently gave some insight into what is going through Rodgers' head…
Jordy Nelson gives insight to the Aaron Rodgers situation
“I have no idea what he’s going to do,” Nelson said in a one-on-one interview with RG while speaking in Milwaukee at his ‘Inside The Huddle Live’ event during draft week. “The one thing I know is he’s going to take his time, he’s going to think through it. He’s going to make the best decision for himself…
"..My best advice would be if you still have an itch to go do it, go do it,” Nelson advises Rodgers. Because once it’s done, it’s done, you’re not going to be able to come back and do it. You’ll know when it’s time to be done. You’ll know, at least I did. To be able to make that decision and continue to play or to be done is a big one, and he’ll take his time, and he’ll make the right decision. It’ll be fun if he comes back. I’ll look forward to watching him.”
Rodgers has been taking his time throughout the process, but the weekend that was the NFL Draft shed a lot of light on where the Steelers and Rodgers stand. I know, a sixth-round pick on Will Howard doesn't solve who will be starting at quarterback. I understand that the team only has three quarterbacks on the roster despite always taking four to camp.
Well, barring a last-second change of mind, Aaron Rodgers is your starting quarterback in 2025. Don't take my word for it, just read what Art Rooney had to say over the weekend when asked about where things stand with Rodgers…
"He does want to come here," said Rooney.
The owner isn't saying that, and the team isn't showing as much complacency in free agency and the draft unless they know Rodgers is headed to Pittsburgh.
