Aaron Rodgers will arrive in Pittsburgh to a "visit" later today
The second annual Rodgers-Steelers saga could be ending soon.
Last year, quarterback Aaron Rodgers made a secret visit to Pittsburgh in March. (It didn't remain a secret for very long, to his chagrin. ) Today, Rodgers is reportedly returning for another visit.
As first reported by 93. 7 The Fan, Rodgers will be visiting Pittsburgh on Thursday. Per 93.
7 The Fan, Rodgers is "expected" to sign with the Steelers this weekend. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, in reposting a tweet from 93. 7 The Fan, confirms the planned visit.
However, Rapoport adds that " no deal is in place . " Regardless of whether Rodgers does or doesn't sign a contract this weekend, it's finally something — after several months of nothing. The team's uncertainty prompted it to place the unrestricted free agent tender on Rodgers last week, a move that both extends the window for compensatory draft-pick consideration if he signs elsewhere and complicates significantly his ability to wait beyond July 22 to see if a better opportunity arises elsewhere.
