Aaron Rodgers’ saga is far from over and may still have more chapters to come. However, there’s a possibility it could conclude next Wednesday when the NFL releases the schedule for the upcoming season, which will be kicked off by the Philadelphia Eagles, last season’s champions, against an opponent yet to be announced.

Opportunities for Rodgers have been gradually closing, and time is starting to run out for the legendary quarterback, who is even considering retirement if there isn’t a plan that satisfies him to continue his NFL career.

There are several rumors suggesting that Aaron Rodgers could reveal his decision around 7:45 p.m. ET on Wednesday-just 15 minutes before the official release of the league’s schedule-potentially stealing the spotlight from the NFL announcement.

Will Aaron Rodgers sign with the Steelers?

There’s no doubt the Pittsburgh Steelers are desperate for Aaron Rodgers to sign with them. Currently, Mason Rudolph and rookie Will Howard from Ohio State are competing for the starting role, but if Rodgers signs, he would immediately become QB1.

If Rodgers doesn’t make an announcement before then, that timeframe will be telling-his presence would be important for getting to know teammates, coaches, and team staff.

Another rumor surrounding the delay in Rodgers’ decision to sign with the Steelers is the possibility that the team may receive several short-week or primetime games early in the season. According to NFL analyst Colin Cowherd, the Steelers’ schedule could be the final factor in Rodgers’ decision to accept the offer or not.
