Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing the waiting game in free agency, although the Steelers aren’t willing participants.

The veteran quarterback has been a target for the AFC North franchise since the end of last season. Still, he’s been non-committal, revealing on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ that there are people in his inner circle “battling difficult stuff,” while he also has other serious commitments.

According to Ian O’Connor, the man who authored his biography, Rodgers doesn’t want to join the team because he might not be ready to practice and doesn’t want to sign and then not show up for minicamp.

“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,” O’Connor told 93.7 The Fan (H/T Sports Illustrated).

O’Connor suggested that closure will come, one way or the other, by the end of May.

‘‘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 it is,” he added.

Aaron Rodgers Expected To Take Part In Mandatory Practice If He Signs With The Steelers

The ‘Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers’ author also predicted that A-Rod will be in uniform by June 10, voicing a suspicion that the veteran QB would “honor” mandatory practice this time around, should he sign with Pittsburgh, after what happened last year.

“If I had $100 to put down, my feeling is he’ll be in uniform June 10 for the start of the mandatory minicamp,” he continued.

Rodgers was heavily criticized for missing two days of mandatory minicamp with the New York Jets so he could take a trip to Egypt. Former HC Robert Saleh claimed then that the absence was “unexcused.”

“I don’t know about OTAs [on May 27]. … I think that word ‘mandatory,’ after what he went through last year when he missed two practices to be checking out the pyramids in Egypt, he took so much grief for that that I think he will honor that,” O’Connor noted. “And my suspicion is that Mike Tomlin has given a verbal sign-off to that already.”

The absence resulted in a $50,000 fine for Rodgers, and it was all downhill from there.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.

Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.

Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.

“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.

“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.

“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.

“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.

Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone

While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.

Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.

Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.

In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.

“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.

Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
