The rumor mill is churning, and the latest buzz on Aaron Rodgers has Pittsburgh fans on edge. Yes, the four-time MVP is back in the Steel City—but don't expect him to be throwing passes in black and gold just yet.

According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Rodgers has been in town for a couple of days. However, he hasn't met with the Steelers' front office or coaching staff. He also skipped the team's rookie minicamp this weekend, despite earlier reports suggesting he wanted to get acquainted with the new faces in the locker room.

Instead, the conversation is happening behind the scenes: the Steelers have been in touch with Rodgers's agent. And while there's been plenty of chatter that this potential reunion isn't about the money, let's be real—when it comes to veteran contracts, the Benjamin's always talk. Rodgers played last season on a base salary of $13.65 million, a bargain for a player of his caliber. This year, the big question is what number he's looking for, what the Steelers are willing to offer, and whether those two figures can find common ground.

Head coach Mike McCarthy addressed the media on Saturday and seemed open to the idea of adding Rodgers to the mix. When asked about the possibility of the QB officially joining before OTAs kick off on May 18, McCarthy kept it simple: "Three quarterbacks is the normal. Four would be awesome."

For now, Pittsburgh waits. But with Rodgers in town and talks ongoing, this story is far from over.
