Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden cast doubt on the idea that Aaron Rodgers must decide on joining the team by the NFL draft. Steelers owner Art Rooney II recently stated he expects an answer from the quarterback by then. Haden argued on his podcast that Rodgers holds all the leverage.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are again waiting for a decision from Aaron Rodgers this offseason, much like last year when they waited until June. Art Rooney II expressed hope for clarity before the draft, but Joe Haden pushed back during Tuesday's episode of his Deebo and Joe podcast. The former Steelers player suggested Rodgers, at 42 years old and with a reported $400 million in career earnings, faces no rush. “He don’t gotta answer you. There’s no timeline in his head,” Haden said. “There’s timelines in teams’ heads because you’ve got OTAs. But if you’re him, I could be chilling as long as I want. I don’t have to say nothing.”
