Former Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger has continued to stay in the mix with the latest NFL news. He recently spoke about the Aaron Rodgers and Steelers situation, one that many believe will come to an end with Rodgers joining Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger didn't hesitate to express his thoughts on Aaron Rodgers' delay in responding to becoming the starting quarterback for the 2025 NFL season. In addition, Big Ben involved the Minnesota Vikings.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur commented Tuesday on the possibility of former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers signing with the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings in free agency. Speaking to reporters at the league meetings in Palm Beach, Florida, LaFleur said the following about the idea of Rodgers donning Vikings purple:

LaFleur was Rodgers's head coach from 2019 until the Packers traded him to the New York Jets in 2023. The duo led Green Bay to two NFC Championship Game appearances but the team went 8–9 in their final season together, prompting a split.

Though it's a long shot, here's why Aaron Rodgers winding up a Viking "would be a hell of a story" according to his former Packers coach.

Aaron Rodgers has lots of detractors, but one of them is not former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger is fully in favor of the Steelers going after Rodgers and believes Rodgers could elevate the Steelers’ offense and team beyond where they would be otherwise.

Minnesota GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah didn't outright say it, but the Vikings and Rodgers are heading in different directions, and it's tough to see that changing anytime soon.

Minnesota is no longer interested in bringing in Rodgers at this time, but they were at least tossing it around as an option this offseason.
