Multiple reports have linked Rodgers with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who currently have a field marshal opening after losing Russell Wilson and Justin Fields this low season and choosing not choosing a upper field marshal prospect in this year’s NFL draft.
Rodgers recently visited the Steelers facilities, and multiple points of sale reported that he met with the team’s coaching staff.

“I simply think verbally, behind the scene, it is not that it guarantees it, but it is told [the Steelers]’Listen, I’m going to play for you. I simply do not want to go there and then lose part of the mandatory mini -family due to my personal problems. I am quite sure that they will be resolved at the end of May, at least in my satisfaction where I can give you everything. So that’s where I think he is, “O’Connor said during a recent appearance in 93.7 The fan.
O’Conner described the Steelers as the “perfect place” for Rodgers to end their historical history.
“He knows that it was a shame in New York to a large extent, and he is the face of that shame,” O’Connor said. “Whether or not, that is the case. It can be me as optimistic, but I think this will work. Do I think the Steelers will win the Super Bowl next year?
