**Aaron Rodgers Nearing Potential Move to Pittsburgh Steelers**

Aaron Rodgers might be heading to the Pittsburgh Steelers soon, potentially drawing to a close the widespread speculation surrounding the future Hall of Fame quarterback. With the New York Jets parting ways with him earlier this offseason, followers have been keen to see where Rodgers will land next. Ian O'Connor, author of "Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers" and a former Post columnist, shared insights on 93.7 The Fan's The PM Team, indicating the possibility of Rodgers joining the Steelers by the month's end.

Rodgers has been subtly linked to the Steelers, although he has largely kept his plans for the upcoming season under wraps. According to O'Connor, there have been behind-the-scenes discussions suggesting that Rodgers has informally committed to joining the team. "I just think verbally, behind the scenes, not that he guaranteed it, but he's told [the Steelers], 'Listen, I'm gonna play for you. I just don't want to go there and then miss part of mandatory minicamp because of my personal issues. I'm pretty sure they're gonna be solved by the end of May, at least in my satisfaction where I can give you my all.' So that's where I think he is," O'Connor explained during his radio appearance.

The delay in Rodgers' decision has been somewhat surprising, especially since the Jets announced their decision to part ways with him back in February. Rodgers has been relatively silent on the matter, only noting during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he was dealing with personal issues involving people close to him. However, O'Connor believes these issues are unlikely to prevent Rodgers from playing this season.

Rodgers' time with the Jets was marked by both brief and turbulent stints. He signed with the team and played just one offensive series in his first year in 2023 before suffering a season-ending Achilles injury in the first game. The Jets ended the season with a disappointing 5-12 record under his leadership. "He knows it was an embarrassment in New York largely, and he's the face of that embarrassment," O'Connor pointed out, though he remains optimistic about Rodgers' potential fit with the Steelers.

As the month progresses, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Rodgers will indeed don the black and gold, ushering in a new chapter for the seasoned quarterback with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
