The Pittsburgh Steelers are making moves. Signing Aaron Rodgers just isn’t one of them (yet), despite team owner Art Rooney II claiming in March that the free agent quarterback was set to come aboard. And Rooney’s fellow owner, minority stakeholder Thomas Tull, is admittedly puzzled by the situation.
Speaking with CNBC this week about artificial intelligence, Tull joked that the Steelers’ pursuit of Rodgers is “a more complex issue” than even AI, as Penn Live reported.
Tull, who became a minority owner of the Steelers in 2009, offered the commentary nearly a month after Rodgers broke his silence regarding his first career foray into free agency. The former MVP admitted in April that he had multiple conversations with Pittsburgh, highlighting his respect for Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, but declined to put a timeline on his decision for 2025.
“I’ve been upfront with them,” Rodgers said on “The Pat McAfee Show” at the time, claiming that personal issues were consuming most of his focus. “I’ve said, listen, if you need to move on, by all means. … I am trying to be open to everything and not specifically attached to anything … I’m not holding anybody hostage.”
Rooney, meanwhile, told reporters at March’s NFL owners meetings that Rodgers was “headed in our direction,” all but repeating the sentiment before April’s 2025 NFL Draft.

The Cubs claimed Chicago native Pope Leo XIV as a fan. His brother begs to differ
The Catholic church electing its first American pope made it inevitable that we would be dissecting his sports fandom. There was some confusion when it came to Pope Leo XIV, however.Leo, formerly known as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, became one of the world's most famous Chicago natives on Thursday with his elevation to the papacy. Born in Chicago's Mercy Hospital and raised in nearby Dolton, he is the first pope to hail from the U.S.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementA Chicago native would naturally be expected to be a fan of the local teams, but that gets tricky when the city has two MLB clubs.Given that he served as an altar boy at a church in the city's south side, it was initially thought that he would be a fan of the Chicago White Sox, but then ABC News complicated things by reporting that he […]
Cubs set to call up top pitching prospect Cade Horton: Source
The Chicago Cubs are summoning Cade Horton to New York from Triple-A Iowa, a league source confirmed to The Athletic, lining up their top pitching prospect to potentially make his major-league debut this weekend against the Mets in a marquee matchup at Citi Field.The Cubs have listed Saturday’s starter as “TBD.” That spot became a possibility for Horton when All-Star pitcher Shota Imanaga recently joined Justin Steele and Javier Assad on the injured list, testing the organization’s pitching depth.AdvertisementFor Horton, New York might not be the softest landing spot, if he winds up facing Franciso Lindor, Juan Soto and Pete Alonso in a nationally televised Fox game.
