Mike Tomlin has no problem with Aaron Rodgers taking his time to decide whether he’ll play in 2025
PALM BEACH, Florida — Some people might be anxiously waiting for Aaron Rodgers to make up his mind about whether he’s going to play this upcoming season. The Pittsburgh Steelers coach told reporters at the NFL’s owners meetings that while he enjoyed spending some time with the four-time league MVP when Rodgers visited the team’s facility earlier this month, he has no intention of putting Rodgers on a clock. “We’re optimistic about the room that we’re constructing,” Tomlin said, later adding, “But certainly we’re going to continue to explore all our options in terms of rounding that room out.” Tomlin and Rodgers have long had an affinity — publicly anyway — for each other, including a couple of moments during games in recent years in which they seemed to acknowledge each other for their gamesmanship, moments quickly went viral. The NFL’s longest-tenured head coach called Rodgers’ visit “a really good day,” even though it ended with Rodgers leaving without a deal.
