That has happened again during the Steelers rookie minicamp weekend.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2237998019.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=780\" \/><br \/>\nThe 93.7 The Fan\u2019s Morning Show reported Thursday the quarterback was visiting the Steelers this weekend. Radio hosts Adam Crowley, Pat Bostick and Dorin Dickerson added that Rodgers was set to sign his 2026 contract with the team.<\/p>\n<p>The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette\u2019s Gerry Dulac and NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport collaborated that report. On Thursday, both Dulac and Rapoport posted on X that Rodgers would visit the Steelers.<\/p>\n<p>However, Steelers insider Mark Kaboly threw a big bucket of cold water on that reporting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom everything I can gather, there is no meeting scheduled or expected between Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers,\u201d wrote Kaboly on X. \u201cI\u2019ve reached out to a couple inside the building and nobody has seen him yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dear Aaron Rodgers, You\u2019re not as important as these over the top minute by minute updates indicate. Pittsburgh doesn\u2019t care if you return or not because the franchise is actually better off not paying you $20 million and finishing 4-13 with Rudolph and the young QBs. You showing\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jon Linder (@LinderShowMiami) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LinderShowMiami\/status\/2052791489709920618?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 8, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Steelers insider posted that update at 11:54 AM Friday. NFL Network\u2019s Tom Pelissero confirmed Kaboly\u2019s report, adding he wasn\u2019t aware of any scheduled meeting between Rodgers and the team.<\/p>\n<p>As of early Saturday morning, there still hasn\u2019t been any sign of Rodgers in Pittsburgh this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>It likely goes without saying. But Steelers fans on social media Friday afternoon and Saturday morning were not pleased with the latest conflicting Rodgers updates.<\/p>\n<p>Steelers Fans Showing Frustration With Aaron Rodgers<br \/>\nTo write the Rodgers situation has frustrated Steelers Nation would be putting it mildly. A lot of fans are downright angry. They voiced those feelings after Kaboly cast significant doubt that the quarterback would actually see the team this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Fans don\u2019t run sports teams. If the Rooney family listened to the fan base, or even the media, with every significant decision they have made over the years, the Steelers very likely wouldn\u2019t have experienced near the amount of success that they have.<\/p>\n<p>But clearly, the good will the organization has built over decades has run out for some fans, at least with the Rodgers topic.<\/p>\n<p>On social media, some fans argued, rather than re-sign Rodgers, the team should accept a worse 2026 record to emphasize developing the young quarterbacks on the roster. Other fans just voiced annoyance over the fact Rodgers won\u2019t make up his mind or doesn\u2019t want to announce his 2026 decision.<\/p>\n<p>The longer Rodgers remains unsigned, the more angry Steelers fans are likely to become.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see if that impacts the quarterback\u2019s decision at all. If he signs in June like last year, he could be coming to a city that doesn\u2019t really want to welcome him back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Khan\u2019s Latest on Aaron Rodgers Talks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Rodgers has done the Steelers no favors for the second straight offseason, one could also clearly argue the organization has mishandled the quarterback\u2019s 2026 free agency.<\/p>\n<p>Telling everyone that Rodgers will decide by a date and then seeing that date pass without a decision from the quarterback is a big source of the anger in the Steelers fanbase.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Steelers general manager Omar Khan\u2019s honesty likely ignited more frustration.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know where specifically Aaron is,\u201d Khan said while appearing on the You Better You Bet podcast. \u201cYou know, I can tell you that Aaron and I, and Coach [Mike McCarthy] and Aaron and Aaron\u2019s representatives, we\u2019ve had some good conversations since the season ended and since Mike got here and it\u2019s been positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Khan stressed the conversations continue to be positive. But the GM made no mention of a meeting to finally come to terms on a contract with Rodgers.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, there\u2019s a disconnect in the media on what\u2019s actually happening between the Steelers and Rodgers this weekend. And really, that\u2019s why fans are mad.<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers is entitled to sign whenever he wants. But Steelers fans are entitled to their feelings. This May, a lot of them appear tired of the \u201ctalking\u201d updates.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anytime the situation with Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers appears to get clearer this offseason, it has often become murkier than ever again.
