For many weeks, fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers have wondered what free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers is waiting for when it comes to his decision about whether or not to join the Steelers. One veteran reporter seems to have an answer.<\/p>\n

Mike Silver of The Athletic spoke to wide receiver Davante Adams, a longtime friend of Rodgers, this week. Adams told Silver that Rodgers is looking for a team to truly make him feel wanted, after a disastrous ending to his tenure with the New York Jets.<\/p>\n

During his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show last week, Rodgers ripped the Jets and new head coach Aaron Glenn for the way they went about his release earlier this offseason.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Silver said he believes that experience is coloring Rodgers\u2019 present decision, and that he\u2019s looking for a team to truly show committed they are to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Aaron wants someone to roll out the red carpet for him,\u201d Silver said during an episode of the Scoop City podcast with Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel. \u201cThat is what he is looking for. I\u2019m not sure if he would consider the Steelers doing that right now. I\u2019m not positive how Aaron perceives that or how the Steelers perceive that. The Vikings clearly aren\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodgers visited the Steelers in March, but it\u2019s not clear if they\u2019ve made the kind of commitment that Rodgers is looking for. The Steelers are still seeking a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, perhaps even with their first-round pick, and while Rodgers said the results of the draft won\u2019t have an impact on his decision, the Steelers\u2019 overall lack of commitment to him as the team\u2019s starting quarterback could have him turned off of the idea of coming to Pittsburgh, especially after the way he feels he was treated in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt to me, Aaron, based on what Davante said, would love to be swept off his feet,\u201d Silver said. \u201cHe\u2019s a four-time MVP, he\u2019s one of the greatest ever to spin it. I would understand why Aaron would want to feel that level of intensity before he jumps in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, if the Steelers aren\u2019t reaching that level with Rodgers, it\u2019s very highly unlikely anyone else will. The other 31 teams all have starting quarterbacks in place. It\u2019s possible that Rodgers could just decide to hang up his cleats instead of playing for a team that he is unsure if they\u2019re all in on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe seems content to wait. I believe that he just wants to feel that vibe,\u201d Silver said. \u201cThe Jets are a little different and it didn\u2019t go amazing and it ended poorly.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Rodgers decides not to play now, that wouldn\u2019t preclude the idea of him coming in to rescue another team, if a contender suffers an injury at quarterback. A team desperate enough would certainly do everything possible to land Rodgers at that juncture.<\/p>\n

Adams also told Silver that he believes Rodgers can still play at a \u201cvery high level,\u201d citing his injured leg bothering him at the start of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n
