The latest buzz surrounding free agent QB Aaron Rodgers joining the Nevillewood Country Club near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania turned out to be just a rumor. Sports Anchor/Reporter for KDKA-TV (CBS), Rich Walsh, took to social media to debunk the false news. He clarified that after speaking with the Club at Nevillewood President Wayne Chiurazz, it was confirmed that Rodgers had not become a member at the golf club. The Club expressed their interest in having Rodgers join them if he were to sign with the Steelers. This rumor highlighted the eagerness of fans and media to grab any nugget of information about Rodgers’ future plans, even if it lacked credibility.
Since the conclusion of the 2025 season, Rodgers has maintained a low profile regarding his next steps. He mentioned on the ‘Pat McAfee Show’ that family matters were occupying his mind, delaying his decision on his football future. Despite the ongoing speculation, the Steelers seem to offer Rodgers the most viable opportunity to continue playing in the NFL in the upcoming season.
Unlike other teams like the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants, who invested heavily in drafting quarterbacks in 2025, the Steelers opted not to select a prominent QB. Instead, they drafted Will Howard from Ohio State in the sixth round, who is not expected to start immediately. This decision by the Steelers hints at a potential opening for Rodgers to join the team for the upcoming season.
As the rumors swirl and fans eagerly await Rodgers’ decision, the Steelers emerge as a plausible destination for the veteran QB. The false golf club rumor serves as a reminder of the constant speculation surrounding Rodgers’ future. Only time will tell where Rodgers will land for the 2025 NFL season.
