The owner and president of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Art Rooney II, has an expressiveness about the search for the Aaron Rodgers team, but the co -owner Thomas Tull issued something surrounding the field marshal on Tuesday.
In an interview with “Power Lunch” by CNBC, Tull joked about the courtship of Rodgers’ Steelers when the global TWG co -president appeared in the program to discuss AI.
“I am here to talk about AI, and that is a more complex issue than artificial intelligence,” Tull replied when asked about Rodgers.
Tull’s comment is the first of the Steelers organization in the last weeks that suggests that Rodgers signing with them is not as overturned as many thought it would be.

The Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has shown optimism that the team would land Rodgers in recent months.
“Leg reported that one day with us spent, and it was a very good day,” Tomlin told journalists at the League meetings in March. “Specifically, he and I obviously know each other for some time, so it was really good to spend time together, man, and get to know ourselves more intimately, but it is a free agency. It is a process.”
Even more recent, Tomlin and Rodgers have been in “Constant Contact”, according to James Palmer de Bleacher Report. Rooney also has the feeling that Rodgers wants to be in Pittsburgh.
“We are still receiving the same signals that we have been receiving recently,” Rooney told Steelers Nation Radio before the 2nd 2025 Draft Draft. “He does it because to come here, so I think we can arrive soon.”
That is aligned with what Rooony told reporters in April, when he said the team was “receiving positive signals” about Rodgers who joined them.
“So, I would say that we feel quite well about it at this time,” Rooney said at the League meetings.
Why Steelers should have written a QB before while waiting for Aaron Rodgers
However, Rodgers has taken his time with his next career decision and has maintained a relatively low profile, became a free agent in March. In his only public comments since its launch of the New York Jets, Rodgers explained that they were personal reasons why his time was taking his decision in an appearance in the “Pat McAfee show” in April.
“I am trying to be open to everything and not specifically attached to a decision. I am not retaining anyone as a hostage,” Rodgers said. “I’ve bone upfront from the beginning.

Steelers have put themselves in a corner with Rodgers. While they have some quarterbacks on their list, none has a great initial experience. They signed Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson in free agency. Nor did they make a great investment in the quartback in the draft, waiting until the sixth round to select Will Howard from Ohio State.
