The Pittsburgh Steelers are seemingly hopeful that Aaron Rodgers will return to the organization, but the latest reports indicate that there are still a lot of things up in the air. The Steelers have to decide whether they want Rodgers to be the guy moving forward, which it seems like they do, and Rodgers needs to commit to them for at least another season.
The hope and expectation were for Rodgers to already have this decision made, but it obviously hasn't happened just yet.
Despite that, many players have come out and spoken about what they want to see happen, including newly acquired wide receiver Michael Pittman.
"I’m hoping he’s close," Pittman told Fox News Digital. "I don’t know anything — people think that we know something. Why would Aaron tell me anything?... Obviously, Aaron is a great player — look at everything he’s done," Pittman added. "We would love to have him back. At the end of the day, he has to decide that for himself."
"Being in Pittsburgh, just the vibe of driving around, everybody is wearing something sports. It’s either the Steelers, the Pirates or the Penguins," Pittman explained. "Somebody’s wearing some black and gold, which I think is awesome. They love their football there. I mean, Indy loves football, too. I’m not taking anything away from Indy fans, but it’s just the Pittsburgh — everybody knows Pittsburgh for being Pittsburgh. The Steelers, the fans. The town is set on these rivers. The stadium is right there, the scenery. It is something crazy, and I’m excited to be there and be able to play for them."
Pittman was one of the top offseason additions for the Steelers, as the former Indianapolis Colts receiver has put together a very nice career for himself. Pittman will certainly need somebody to throw him the football at a high level, and if somebody like Rodgers is the guy doing that, there's reason to believe that he can have an excellent season.

However, wide receivers are only as good as their quarterbacks make them at the end of the day, especially in pressure situations, so that's something the Steelers will have to figure out if Rodgers decides to walk away from the game after a Hall of Fame career.
