Heyward said on his "Not Just Football" podcast this week that he doesn't understand Aaron Rodgers' inability to decide yet. The Steelers defensive tackle even mentioned the quarterback's "darkness retreat," calling it unnecessary.

“I ain’t doing that darkness retreat. I don’t need any of that crap. Either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, or you don’t. That’s simple, that’s the pitch. If you want me to recruit, that’s the recruiting pitch. Pittsburgh Steelers — if you want to be part of it, so be it. If you don’t, no skin off my back.”

Ian Rapoport believes Aaron Rodgers isn't in a rush to make a decision

While NFL fans wait for Aaron Rodgers to make a decision, NFL Insider Ian Rapoport believes they could be in for the long haul. On Monday's episode of the NFL Network's "The Insiders", Rapoport said the 41-year-old doesn't appear to be in a rush and a decision may not be made until the NFL Draft.

"I don't get the sense he's in a hurry at all, I really don't. He doesn't have to decide by any time. He sort of controls this thing, there's no actual deadline. If you're the Giants or the Vikings or the Steelers or whoever ends up signing Rodgers, if it's anyone, then you'd like it now.

"But, the next point is do you draft someone? That's a month or so away. Could it go all the way to the draft like it did two years ago?"

While Aaron Rodgers may be comfortable waiting to make a decision, the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants would likely be in favor of a decision rather than later.

That said, the teams could turn their attention to other free agents in the meantime, seeing how their fans have been clamoring for the same.
