The Pittsburgh Steelers offseason revolves around what Aaron Rodgers decides to do. Should he decide to return for a 22nd NFL season, the Steelers have their quarterback. If he decides to retire or if he wants to play elsewhere, though, Pittsburgh will need to figure out who they will bring in at the position.
It has been reported that the Steelers would prefer to have Rodgers’ decision ahead of the new league year, which officially begins on March 11th. And according to NFL insider Aditi Kinkhabwala,
Rodgers is unlikely to return to Pittsburgh.
“Great NFL insider Aditi Kinkhabwala says on 93. 7 The Fan that people around Aaron Rodgers believe there’s a ‘minuscule chance’ he’s back with the Steelers in 2026,” Andrew Fillipponi said on X. “And that’s Rodgers decision. Not the Steelers. Based on what they observed at the end of last season.”
The only other two quarterbacks on the Steelers’ roster are Mason Rudolph and Will Howard. There have been several names connected to the Steelers in terms of potential trades or free agent signings, such as Kyler Murray, Malik Willis, and Anthony Richardson.
Rodgers threw 24 touchdowns and just seven interceptions in 2025.
