PITTSBURGH -- It's "bring a four-time NFL MVP to work day" in Pittsburgh.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a free agent for the first time in his career, spent about six hours Friday visiting the Steelers at their practice facility, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Rodgers met with the team's coaches in what was described as a positive visit, with the the two sides agreeing to stay in touch, sources added.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was first to report the initial news of Rodgers' visit.
Rodgers emerged as an option for the Steelers nearly two weeks ago during the league's negotiating period before the official start of free agency. While Rodgers has offers from the Steelers and New York Giants, the Minnesota Vikings are also believed to be in the mix.
Minnesota, though, is preparing to move forward with 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy as its starting quarterback, significantly diminishing its chances of bringing Rodgers in.
Rodgers was released by the New York Jets on March 12.
