AARON Rodgers’ potential move to Pittsburgh is looking increasingly unlikely, according to reports.
The 41-year-old quarterback held talks with the Steelers about joining the team.

The four-time MVP visited the team facility for almost an entire day in March.
But there has yet to be a decision on whether he’ll play in Pittsburgh or retire.
The Daily Mail reported that the Steelers are beginning to run out of patience.
And the report claims they are leaning towards not signing the quarterback.
“It was all but a forgone conclusion that he was going to join the team,” a source was quoted as saying.
“He still might but the waiting is taking its toll on the players that are already there, the team chemistry and coach Mike Tomlin.
“Being a week removed from the NFL Draft, the team has to figure out what they will be this upcoming season.
“It would be nice to have Aaron sign, but if he is going to hold out, they are becoming fine with it.
“The Steelers want an answer 100 per cent either way in the beginning of next week.”
Pittsburgh has just two veterans at quarterback in Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson.
They lost both Russell Wilson to the New York Giants and Justin Fields to the New York Jets.
Speaking at the annual league meeting last month, coach Tomlin said the team would evaluate all options.
He confirmed that positive meetings took place with Rodgers.
“We’re still evaluating the acquisition of a guy at the position,” Tomlin said.
“Whether it’s free agency and/or the draft, we’re doing our due diligence communicating with some free agents.
“We’re also preparing for the draft.
“We’re optimistic about the room that we’re constructing.
“Obviously, we’re excited about having Mason Rudolph back.
“But certainly we’re going to continue to explore all our options in terms of rounding that room out.”
