During an appearance Friday on “The Rich Eisen Show,” the All-Pro defensive tackle spoke about Pittsburgh’s recent flirtation with Aaron Rodgers, who not only visited the Steelers’ facility Friday but was a topic of conversation on Heyward’s podcast earlier in the week as the free agency waiting game continues.

The Steelers appear to be desperate for Rodgers after losing the team's two starters from last season, Russell Wilson, who sits in free agency, and Justin Fields, who already signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the New York Jets.

If the Steelers believe Rodgers is the guy, he needs to make his decision, and they need to know soon. He'd impact what they do in the draft and the remainder of free agency, making his timeline important. However, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, it remains unlikely that Rodgers will make an announcement soon.

The Cleveland Browns are interested in Russell Wilson but the former Seattle Seahawks QB might command too much money.

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers sit at a standstill for a new deal. Despite a fruitful trip to Pittsburgh, no deal was sealed. Ben and Donnie talk the latest.
