Close your eyes and picture this: it's 2019. The world is moving through the cosmos at the speed of light, blisfully unaware of what the next half-decade has in store. 'Old Town Road', by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus is dominating the airwaves, and Matt LaFleur is being asked questions about Aaron Rodgers. It's a simple time.

Now imagine someone comes to tell you that, in six years, LaFleur's still going to be asked what he thinks about Rodgers' decision-making. Would you be surprised? Not at all? Fine, fair enough. Because time is truly a flat circle, and all of our decisions have already been made for us eons before we were ever alive, Matt LaFleur was asked about what he thinks Aaron Rodgers will do on a recent episode of Kay Adams' morning football show. His answer is exactly like yours, which is kinda adorable if you think about it.


Matt LaFleur is convinced that Aaron Rodgers ends up on the Steelers in 2025

"No. Not once," LaFleur said when asked about whether he's talked with anyone from Pittsburgh. "Nothing ... I haven't heard from [Mike Tomlin or Arthur Smith] in regards to him. I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing. I'm sure they're confident in what they're doing. And I would fully expect him to be a Pittsburgh Steeler."

Let's just get this done with. When *Matt LaFleur* feels comfortable taking public stances on his next team, the fun mystery is gone. Everyone on the planet is extremely confident that Rodgers will end up with the Steelers, and they're realistically the only team that is willing to pay him, so let's just be done with it. Let's get on Pat McAfee and give the most insufferable 20 minute interview about Mainstream Media before quietly admitting that it's going to be the Steelers. Give us our summer back, Aaron. Give us our life back.
