For the second time this offseason, Aaron Rodgers is talking. This time, he’s saying far much less about soccer than he did on The Pat McAfee Present in mid-April. Rodgers joined Joe Rogan and his Joe Rogan Expertise podcast for an episode that aired Wednesday. Their three-hour dialogue didn’t carry up the Pittsburgh Steelers or Rodgers’ NFL future. But it surely provided a small trace into one of many private points that might be delaying Rodgers from deciding on his 2025 plans.
On the two-hour and 47-minute mark within the interview in a dialogue with Rogan about medication, Rodgers shared he’s had shut pals battle severe sickness.
“I’ve figured it out over the last 12 months once I’ve been within the weeds with these people who find themselves near me which have most cancers,” Rodgers started telling Rogan at Rogan’s recording studio in Texas.
The dialog moved on from there with Rodgers vital of those that reject non-conventional strategies of remedy, claiming he is aware of individuals who have been “raided” and confronted “lawsuits” over it.
Rogan didn’t comply with up over if these are among the explanation why Rodgers has but to decide on his NFL future. In Rodgers’ interview with McAfee, he mentioned a key purpose for his delay was for private causes.
“I’m in a severe relationship,” Rodgers instructed McAfee on April 17. “I’ve off the sector stuff occurring that requires my consideration. I’ve private commitments I’ve made. I’ve a pair folks in my internal, internal circle who’re actually battling some tough stuff. So I’ve a whole lot of issues which can be taking my consideration and have starting in January away from soccer. That’s the place I’ve been focusing most of my consideration on.”
Hypothesis swirled on the Kentucky Derby when Aaron Rodgers was noticed carrying a hoop, suggesting he has gotten engaged or married. His feedback on McAfee’s present are in step with what he instructed Rogan. And whereas there might be a number of private causes for his delay, together with Rodgers being a free agent who has no present obligations to any group, it seems pals who’re combating most cancers is one rationalization for the private points Rodgers is processing.
Latest studies from native and nationwide reporters point out the Steelers stay in touch with Rodgers and imagine he’ll signal with Pittsburgh. Nonetheless, there’s been no readability on what that information may come. Some inside Pittsburgh’s constructing reportedly don’t imagine it issues when Rodgers indicators.
Pittsburgh begins its OTA periods Could 27. Voluntary anyway and with Rodgers not underneath contract, he has no obligation to attend. The Steelers’ obligatory mini-camp runs from June 10-12. There was an rising perception a choice will come quickly and Pittsburgh possible desires to know Rodgers’ future earlier than spring exercises are over. Maybe Rodgers will announce one thing shortly.
However primarily based on the interview, he provided no hints for a timetable and solely a quick window into what he’s been coping with that’s induced a two-month (and counting) wait.
