Mike Tomlin isn't panicking about waiting on Aaron Rodgers.
Based on everything he's said between yesterday and this morning, it sounds like he knows way more about Rodgers' intentions than anyone else does. But, with his answer to the second question below, he also understands how things can be fluid this time of year:
"I'm really comfortable with being unsettled this time of year, to be quite honest with you," Tomlin said. "It's about talent acquisition. We've got two means of acquiring talent: Free agency and the draft. We multitask. We do both. Those needs that we fulfill in free agency, we do so there. And when we don't, we fulfill it in the draft. I've just learned over the years that this time of year, although day to day it can be somewhat uncomfortable, it is a process."
