The Aaron Rodgers<\/a> waiting game took the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> on a rollercoaster of emotions this past weekend \u2014 from several reports claiming the 42-year-old quarterback was scheduled to visit<\/a> with the team, to other reports dismissing<\/a> that claim entirely. Another report surfaced soon after that stated Rodgers was, in fact, in Pittsburgh, but he didn’t meet with the Steelers<\/a> \u2014 and ESPN’s Adam Schefter has addressed this insane situation.<\/p>\n On Monday, Schefter made a guest appearance on The Pat McAfee Show and revealed that neither the Steelers nor Rodgers’ agent knew of the plan to visit Pittsburgh this weekend, which may be the strangest update to the waiting game so far.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the report surfaced last week, that he was back in town, visiting the Steelers, nobody in the organization knew about it,\u201d Schefter said. \u201cAnd his agent didn’t know about it.\u201d<\/p>\n Schefter also added that May 18 is the date to watch for a potential Rodgers signing, and that he still believes that the \u201cchances are he comes back\u201d to the Steelers in 2026.<\/p>\n The Steelers’ packed offseason schedule continues when the team kicks off OTAs on May 18, which hopefully will give fans a little more clarity on Rodgers’ decision for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n For up-to-date\u00a0Steelers\u00a0coverage, including any offseason moves, follow us on X\u00a0@TheSteelersWire<\/a>\u00a0and give our\u00a0Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0a like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 11, 2026, 4:22 p.m. ET The Aaron Rodgers waiting game took the Pittsburgh Steelers on a rollercoaster…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189762,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[942,73,75,74,83960,29044,38167,8758,543,11767,15077,2180,2173,2533,648,2514,72380,8757,14298,544,535],"class_list":["post-189761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-accessfree","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-sourcesteelers-wire","tag-sstssportsnflsteelers","tag-sstsnsteelers","tag-tagaaron-rodgers","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagespn-inc","tag-tagfacebook","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnfl","tag-tagnfl-hub","tag-tagoverall-negative","tag-tagpittsburgh","tag-tagpittsburgh-connect","tag-tagpittsburgh-steelers","tag-tagsmg-timely","tag-tagsports-news","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
