Aaron Rodgers-Pittsburgh country club rumor shut down as Steelers flirtation lingers

A rumor about Aaron Rodgers joining a swanky suburban Pittsburgh golf club ended up being false.

KDKA’s Rich Walsh shut down internet skuttlebut that the future Hall of Fame quarterback had joined Nevillewood Country Club in Collier Township, Pennsylvania, just outside Pittsburgh, which seemed to give credence to Rodgers joining the Steelers.

Rodgers’ future in the NFL has remained a mystery since the Jets cut ties with him after an ugly 2024 season, which resulted in a major franchise overhaul.

“This rumor is NOT true. I just spoke with the Club at Nevillewood President Wayne Chiurazzi, who said Aaron Rodgers did not join,” Walsh posted on social media over the weekend. “The Club would love to have him if he does sign with the Steelers. It is true that Nevillewood is a beautiful Pittsburgh suburban golf course.”

Walsh had added in a separate post that a “person” inside the organization had recommended the club to Rodgers and that “as of right now Rodgers hasn’t joined.” 

The Steelers are believed to be one of Rodgers’ only teams left in play for next season if he decides to return to the field for the 2025 season. 

Should Rodgers sign with the Steelers and join the club, a full membership would enтιтle him to “full access to all club facilities, including the golf course and practice facility. Their family members, including children living at home, up to the age of 23, also enjoy use of all club amenities with certain limitations on the use of the golf course.”

Several teams had been linked to Rodgers, including the Giants before they signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. 

The Saints have also been viewed as another potential option after Derek Carr announced his retirement.
