The CBS legend wants Aaron Rodgers in a Steelers uniform
The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to be on Aaron Rodgers watch. While it is widely expected that the four-time NFL MVP will sign with Pittsburgh, it’s been over two months since free agency began and we continue to wait. Not only are fans getting antsy, so, too, are those involved with calling these games. Legendary CBS play-by-play man Jim Nantz appeared on NFL Network during the Schedule Release Special.
“I don’t know if you’re watching, Aaron Rodgers,” Nantz said. “I hope you are. But I want you to know that I’m passing the hat here at Quail Hollow. And we’re taking up a collection… Just again, a few of my colleagues and some friends, we want to see you in the Steel City this season. And we’re willing to contribute, I think we can [get] up close to seven figures”

Nantz and Tony Romo are set to call multiple Steelers games in the final month and a half of the NFL season. They will be on the call when Josh Allen and the Bills go to Acrisure Stadium in Week 13, and they will also be in Detroit when the Steelers face the Lions.
The Steelers begin OTAs on May 27th. Mandatory minicamp is June 10th. As we get closer to those dates, one would think we’d be close to getting some news on a decision.
