Green Bay Packers legend Aaron Rodgers remains the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback of record as he weighs his future, with coach Mike McCarthy expressing confidence in their ongoing dialogue. McCarthy, who coached Rodgers for 13 seasons, stated they speak 'weekly, every couple of days,' describing conversations as 'just like they always are' - covering life, football, and facility matters. He emphasized Rodgers is 'really engaged' and 'in a very positive space,' though the 42-year-old QB has yet to commit to a return after one season with Pittsburgh.

Steelers owner Art Rooney II expects a decision before the April 23 NFL draft, citing Rodgers' promise to decide sooner than last year's prolonged process. General manager Omar Khan confirmed all options remain open, including drafting a QB. A year ago, Rodgers delayed his decision due to personal matters involving his inner circle.
