Aaron Rodgers sparks NFL outrage — Fans accuse QB of attention-seeking stunt as retirement drama drags on

Send Push
Aaron Rodgers is no stranger to dominating headlines, but this offseason, his indecision is drawing more laughter than admiration. With the Pittsburgh Steelers extending a contract offer weeks ago and still waiting for an answer, both fans and former teammates are starting to lose patience—and they're doing it with memes.

Aaron Rodgers’ refusal to commit sparks hilarious trolling from former teammate and analysts
The 41-year-old quarterback remains undecided about whether to accept the Steelers’ offer or walk away from football entirely. That indecision became prime material for jokes when Fantasy Points CEO Scott Barrett posted a humorous clip on X (formerly Twitter), referencing a scene from the film Grandma’s Boy in which a character delivers a bizarre, dream-like monologue to a confused audience. Barrett captioned the post: "The Pittsburgh Steelers: 'So are you retiring or what? We have Shedeur [Sanders] in on a visit, and it sounds like he's going to fall to us...'"



The implication? Rodgers is lost in his own world—possibly one still influenced by his now-famous ayahuasca journeys. Former Packers teammate David Bakhtiari couldn’t resist jumping in, reposting the video with the caption "Probably" and tagging Rodgers directly. It was a lighthearted jab, but one that speaks to a broader narrative: people are tired of waiting.


Steelers look to the future while Aaron Rodgers remains undecided about his own
While Rodgers plays the waiting game, the Steelers are preparing for life beyond the uncertainty. Reports suggest that Pittsburgh has already brought in top quarterback prospect Shedeur Sanders for a pre-draft visit, signaling that they may not wait much longer.


Rodgers, meanwhile, addressed the situation in a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. When asked about the Steelers' interest and his football future, he replied, "I'm open to anything and attached to nothing." It’s a trademark Rodgers line—philosophical, but ultimately vague.

With the 2025 NFL Draft just around the corner, Rodgers' window to decide is rapidly closing. Should Pittsburgh land a promising young quarterback like Sanders, the offer to Rodgers could be off the table altogether. Whether he returns to the gridiron or chooses to retire, one thing is clear—Aaron Rodgers isn’t in a rush, even if the rest of the NFL is.
