Steelers part-owner: Aaron Rodgers is a ‘more complex issue’ than AI

The owner and president of the Pittsburgh steelers, Art Rooney II, expressed his positivity as to the continuation of the Aaron Rodgers team, but the owner of the Thomas Tull part threw an uncertainty surrounding the quarter-Arrière on Tuesday.

In An interview with the “Power Lunch” of CNBC, Tull made a joke on the Rodgers Steelers’ Nuptial Steelers when the World Co -president of TWG appeared in the program to discuss the AI.

“I am here to talk about AI, and this is a more complex problem than artificial intelligence,” replied Tull when asked Rodgers.

Tull’s commentary is the first of the Steelers organization in recent weeks that suggests that Rodgers signing with them is not as much a slam dunk as many thought.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has shown the optimism that the team would land Rodgers in the past two months.

“It was reported that he had a day with us, and it was a very good day,” Tomlin told journalists during the League meetings in March. “More specifically, he and I have known obviously for some time, and therefore it was really good to spend a little time together, man and to know each other more intimately, but it is a free agency. It is a process.”

Even recently, Tomlin and Rodgers were in “constant contact” ,, According to James Palmer to Bleacher Report. Rooney also had the impression that Rodgers wants to be in Pittsburgh.

“We always get the same signals that we have recently obtained,” said Rooney Steelers Nation Radio before day 2 of the NFL 2025 draft. “He wants to come here, so I think we can be talked about soon.”

This aligns with what Rooney said to journalists in April, when he said that the team “obtained positive signals” about Rodgers joining them.

“So yes, I would say that we feel pretty good about it,” said Rooney during the League meetings.

However, Rodgers took his time with his next career decision and has kept a relatively low profile since he became a free agent in March. In his only public comments since his release from New York Jets, Rodgers explained that there were personal reasons for which he made his time with his decision during an appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show” in April.

“I try to be open to anything and not specifically attached to a decision. I don’t want anyone hostage”, ” Said Rodgers. “I was frank from the start. I do not want to say a lack of respect for anyone in a team. I go through a lot of things in my personal life which must take[lapritreterity}Iveryfansareadjustedfortheorwhichyouhavethesametimeinwhichthevery[Priority}Idon’tthinkitwasfirthetheteteelersoranyonewhileidealwithalotofthefieldthepeopletHatknowknowthepeoplethatdon’tmakeups—Aboutme”[lapriorité}JenepensepasquecesoitjustepourlesSteelersouquiconquependantquejegèrebeaucoupdechoseshorsduterrainLesgensquisaventsaventLesgensquinefontpasnefontpasdechoses”[priority}Idon’tthinkitwasfairtotheSteelersoranyonewhileIdealwithalotofthingsoffthefieldThepeoplethatknowknowThepeoplethatdon’tmakeups—aboutme”

The Steelers have mainly put themselves in a corner with Rodgers. Although they have a few quarters on their list, none has a lot of departure experience. They signed Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson in a free agency. They also did not make a major investment in a quarter in the draft, waiting for the sixth round to select Will Howard from Ohio State.
