Aaron Rodgers keeps future with Steelers, football uncertain while focusing on personal priorities: report

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers have been linked for months in free agency, but that doesn’t mean a union is imminent. 

Rodgers, 41, reportedly has not given the Steelers any guarantee he'll sign with the team. 

Rodgers "has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he's coming," NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said during a recent appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show."

The four-time NFL MVP said he has not closed the door on retirement.

"I’m open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility, but right now my focus is and has been and will continue to be on my personal life. … There’s still conversations that are being had," Rodgers said on "The Pat McAfee Show" in April. 

"I’m in a different phase of my life. I’m 41 years old. I’m in a serious relationship. I have off-the-field stuff that requires my attention. I have personal commitments I’ve made not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year that are important to me. 

"And I have a couple of people in my inner, inner circle who are really battling some difficult stuff. So, I have a lot of things that are taking my attention — and have, beginning really in January — away from football."

STEELERS STAR LINEBACKER SAYS AARON RODGERS FREE AGENCY SAGA IS NOT A 'DISTRACTION AT ALL'

Voluntary offseason practices are underway, but it remains to be seen whether Rodgers decides to play football and sign with the Steelers or if he will decide to call it a career after 20 seasons. 

With the New York Jets last season, Rodgers threw for 3,987 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 games. 

The Steelers last season went 10-7 with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields as their starting quarterbacks. However, Wilson and Fields departed in free agency.

Fields left for the Jets, and Wilson left for the New York Giants. 

The Steelers have three quarterbacks on their roster — Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson and sixth-round draft pick Will Howard.

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes. During 2016 and 2017, the audience would kind of look at the ceiling. The jokes...

Prosecutors present final witness tying Ryan Routh to Trump's golf club and gun purchase

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kimberly McGreevy testified about financial records, phone data, license plate readers and surveillance evidence that traced Routh’s movements from Hawaii to Florida ahead of the assassination attempt. McGreevy read aloud a handwritten note Routh allegedly left in a box at Lazaro Plata’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The note began: "Dear World, .. This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward. McGreevy testified that bank transfers showed Routh had the money to pay that sum.
