### Aaron Rodgers Keeps Steelers in Limbo, But Communication Lines Open

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers' optimism regarding Aaron Rodgers joining their ranks, the celebrated quarterback has yet to make a definitive commitment. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media clarified during an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show" that Rodgers hasn’t explicitly informed the Steelers of his decision.

Although Rodgers' commitment remains uncertain, indications suggest he may eventually sign with Pittsburgh. The franchise has just wrapped up their first week of Organized Team Activities (OTAs), with speculation around Rodgers' potential involvement continuing to build. Rodgers has maintained communication with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and has also been in touch with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, fueling further speculation.

Rodgers himself hinted at a likely move to the Steelers. However, he cites personal reasons as the primary factor delaying his decision for the upcoming season. In April, Rodgers emphasized that it wouldn’t have been fair to the Steelers or anyone else to make a decision while dealing with significant off-field issues.

"In April, Aaron Rodgers mentioned, 'I don't think it was fair to the Steelers or anyone to make a decision while I'm dealing with a lot off the field.' Maintaining open lines of communication has been a priority, which is why he’s kept key figures within the Steelers informed. Rodgers added, 'The people that need to know know what's going on, and the people that don't make up stories about me,' referring to the ongoing speculation surrounding his future," Rodgers said.

As the situation continues to unfold, the Steelers and their fans await Rodgers' final decision, hoping for confirmation that the four-time MVP will indeed join their roster.
