PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Steelers owner Art Rooney II says there are “positive signs” that Aaron Rodgers will play in Pittsburgh. The four-time NFL MVP worked out recently with new Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf after previously visiting the team.

The New England Patriots traded Joe Milton III and a seventh-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a fifth-round pick. While the love works out for the two teams involved, it hurts the Pittsburgh Steelers.

During a Thursday appearance on FS1's "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" program, NFL insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic shared a different theory about why Rodgers began the first Friday of April as an unsigned free agent.
