Maybe Rodgers signing in July was part of the plan all along. Past comments from both the Steelers' head coach and GM suggest it's possible. But key offseason dates are flying off the calendar, with no deal in sight.

Aaron Rodgers spent the first 18 seasons of his career in Green Bay and during that time, the Packers didn't use a single first-round pick on a wide receiver. As a matter of fact, the Packers went 23 years without taking a receiver in the opening round before finally ending that drought in April when they selected Matthew Golden with the 23rd overall pick.

Aaron Rodgers said the football field has been his "refuge" when there have been issues in his personal life during his career.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' pursuit of quarterback Aaron Rodgers has split the fanbase in two, including former players.

Rodgers endured his worst record as a starter since 2008 last season with the New York Jets and previously said this spring his "focus" was on his personal life and his pending decision to play or step away has nothing to do with contract figures.

Aaron Rodgers did a ton of commercials, including the "discount double check" series and classic ads with Hans and Franz

Danica Patrick alleged her relationship with Aaron Rodgers was "emotionally abusive" in a sit-down interview on Sage Steele's podcast.

From a historical standpoint, this is a notable season for Jordan Love, who is entering his third full year as the Green Bay Packers' starting quarterback.  Green Bay's last two quarterbacks -- Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers-- enjoyed breakout campaigns during their third full seasons as the full-time starter.
