Joe Rogan has been criticized for his interview with NFL star Aaron Rodgers on a new episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. Newsweek reached out to Rogan's representative via email for comment.

It's been publicly known that the Steelers are interested in signing free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers this offseason.

"I have a couple people in my inner, inner circle who are battling some difficult stuff," Rodgers said.

“I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention, and I have a couple people in my inner, inner circle who are battling some quite difficult stuff.”

June 10, the start of Pittsburgh's mandatory minicamp, could loom as an essential date in the Rodgers saga.

"No," Rodgers laughed off. "That's the answer. No. I played there a couple times — but no, the answer is no. I'm too old, I don't want to live in Louisiana."
