The Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>‘ situation with Aaron Rodgers<\/a> has been interesting, to say the least. Some have speculated that the two sides have had a secret agreement in place, but one prominent insider dismissed that idea.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Kyle Brandt of Good Morning Football, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shot down any rumors of a “secret” deal or “private agreement” between the Steelers<\/a> and Rodgers.<\/p>\n

“My sense is Rodgers assumed he was going to be back,” Rapoport said. “The Steelers have assumed he’s going to be back. I don’t know if there’s an agreement. \u2026 I don’t get the sense there was like a private agreement. I think it was more like, ‘Trust this process.’ It was good last year for him. It was good last year for us.”<\/p>\n

Rapoport also said he agrees that the Steelers may have felt there was a “very good chance” Rodgers would be their starting quarterback in 2026, but that you never know for certain with Rodgers.<\/p>\n

With Rodgers set to visit with the Steelers over the next few days, there’s a very real possibility he finally signs on the dotted line and puts the noise to bed, much to the delight of fans fed up with the waiting game.<\/p>\n
