The calendar has turned to May and Aaron Rodgers is still a free agent.
Rodgers have been attached to Steelers for a few months, but Thomas Tull, a parts owner of Steelers, said that Rodgers is more “complex” than artificial intelligence.
“I’m here to talk about AI, and it’s a more complex question than artificial intelligence,” Tull said when asked about Rodgers in an interview on CNBC’s “Power Lunch.”

The team has three quarterbacks on its list-Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson and the sixth round draft of Howard.
After Russell Wilson left Pittsburgh and signed with New York Giants, Steelers has been mentioned as a possible landing place for the four-time MVP because most teams seem to have their start quarterbacks for the 2025 season in place.
And Rodgers has not closed the door at retirement.
“I am open to something and attached to nothing. Retirement can still be an option, but right now my focus is and has been and will continue to be on my personal life.… There are still conversations that are being had,” Rodgers said at “The Pat McAfee Show” in April.

“I’m in a different phase of my life. I’m 41 years old. I’m in a serious relationship. I have off-the-Field things that require my attention. I have personal obligations I have committed not to know what my future would look like last year that are important to me. And I have a few people in my inner, inner circle who really fight for some lane.
It’s back to see if Rodgers decides to play football and sign with Steelers or whether he will decide to call it a career after 20 seasons.

With the New York Jets last season, Rodgers threw 3,987 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 games.
No matter who ends up starting for steelers in week 1, they will not have George Pickens as a recipient. The team traded pickens for Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday.
