Steelers’ Aaron Rodgers courtship continues in weekend throwing session

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ courtship of quarterback Aaron Rodgers continued over the weekend.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported Monday morning that Rodgers had a throwing session with new Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf at UCLA in recent days.

Pittsburgh acquired Metcalf in a trade with the Seahawks earlier in the offseason, adding another pass-catching weapon to its offense to pair with fellow receiver George Pickens and tight end Pat Freiermuth. He’s already putting in the work to recruit his new team’s potential new starting quarterback.

The news broke one day after ESPN reported on the current state of the Steelers’ pursuit of Aaron Rodgers.

Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters at the annual league meetings that the team is ‘still evaluating the acquisition of a guy at the position, whether it’s free agency and/or the draft, and so we’re doing our due diligence communicating with some free agents.’

Tomlin also shared that Pittsburgh is remaining patient with Rodgers and giving him time to make a decision.

‘I don’t know that we’ve approached it from a deadline perspective,’ he said. ‘Certainly, as I mentioned, you’d like to have settled circumstances, but deadlines don’t often bring that to a head.’

Rodgers spent nearly six hours at the Steelers’ team facility on March 21, though he ultimately left the building without signing a new contract.

Pittsburgh retained none of their three quarterbacks from the 2024 season. Russell Wilson (Giants), Justin Fields (Jets) and Kyle Allen (Lions) all signed elsewhere after hitting free agency this offseason.

At the time of writing, the Steelers have two quarterbacks on their depth chart: Mason Rudolph, whom the team signed to a two-year deal earlier this month, and Skylar Thompson, who received a reserve/future contract from the Steelers in January.
