Steelers Host Joe Flacco-Type QB Following Disappointing Aaron Rodgers Update

One week before the 2026 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers remain without an answer from Aaron Rodgers regarding his plans for the upcoming season. Pittsburgh general manager Omar Khan confirmed there is no hard deadline for the decision.
Rodgers has a history of delaying his commitment; after leading the team to the playoffs last season with at least 3,000 yards, he did not sign with the Steelers until early June last year following his release from the New York Jets.

Steelers owner Art Rooney is seeking confirmation from Rodgers before the draft begins next week in Pittsburgh, where the event runs April 23 to April 25, intensifying pressure for an imminent decision.
