It seems that one team may still be waiting on 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers to sign with them.<\/p>\n
And that team is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, as far as ESPN\u2019s Marcus Spears is concerned.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you are dumb as a box of rocks if you\u2019re waiting on Aaron Rodgers,\u201d Spears said ahead of the first round NFL draft on Thursday night. \u201cAny organization in the NFL, you are dumb as a box of rocks if you wait for Aaron Rodgers to tell you if he\u2019s going to play football.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Pittsburgh Steelers, who have been heavily rumored to be Rodgers\u2019 future home, seemed to be done with the waiting game ahead of the draft.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m told the Steelers communicated with Aaron Rodgers at the beginning of the week that they would like to receive an answer from him before the Draft (at least 48 hours), per league source,\u201d NFL Insider Josina Anderson reported after the first round of the draft.<\/p>\n

Well, Pittsburgh shockingly passed on both Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart with the No. 21 pick in the first round and instead drafted a defensive lineman.<\/p>\n
So perhaps the Steelers did in fact get a decision from Rodgers prior to the draft? Potentially a private commitment to Pittsburgh?<\/p>\n
With Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson being\u00a0the only current quarterbacks on the Steelers\u2019 roster \u2014 the position certainly could have been prioritized in Round 1.<\/p>\n
And with Sanders and Dart still on the board for Pittsburgh\u2019s first round pick Thursday, it could have been the perfect time to address those needs \u2014 yet, the Steelers unexpectedly took Oregon defensive lineman Derrick Harmon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, barring any trade, they do not have another draft pick until the third round at pick No. 83.<\/p>\n
While Sanders is still on the board for a potential trade-up to acquire him, it seems more and more likely that Pittsburgh is doing exactly what Spears believes they should not be: waiting on Rodgers.<\/p>\n
If that\u2019s the case, Spears doesn\u2019t see a world where the move would elevate the Steelers much.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we went through all of this with the New York Jets, the conversation was that [Rodgers] would make them Super Bowl contenders,\u201d Spears said.<\/p>\n
