(TNS) – Free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers dropped the latest hint that he will sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rodgers traveled to Austin, Texas, over the weekend to join his friend and artist, Mike Stud, also known as mike. During the event, Rodgers held a Q&A with the crowd.
At one point, a girl asks him if he would ever play for the Chicago Bears, and Rodgers’ answer is another hint that he will eventually suit up for the Steelers.
“No,” Rodgers answered the question. “But I believe there is a team that might play in Chicago this year, a road trip to Chicago. I love Chicago, though, way more than they love me. It’s been a great relationship all one way.”
The New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings are both teams that will play on the road at Chicago this year, so it doesn’t completely rule it down to the Steelers, but at the moment, the Steelers seem like the only team seriously pursuing Rodgers.
The Steelers play the Bears in Chicago on November 23rd, which is Week 12.
Rodgers was later asked outright if he would sign with the Steelers, to which he gave a vague answer.
“You never know,” Rodgers said.
This is another sign it will eventually get done, though no one seems to know quite for sure when Rodgers will eventually ink the deal.
On the Pat McAfee Show in April, Rodgers said he would not sign a deal with a team until he felt he could fully commit to them with his personal life in order.
In his latest interview on the Joe Rogan Experience, Rodgers may have just revealed and hinted at the issues he hopes to resolve in his personal life.
Rodgers said multiple people in his life are dealing with serious illnesses, including cancer.
“I’ve figured it out during the last year when I’ve been in the weeds with these people who are close to me that have cancer,” Rodgers said.
That is taking a personal toll on Rodgers, who discussed non-conventional treatment options on the podcast.
Still, he offered no certain timetable for a decision and seemed focused on his personal life first before anything else.
