Report: Steelers are open to an Aaron Rodgers return

The Pittsburgh Steelers are considering the possibility of Aaron Rodgers returning for a second season with the team, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. During recent exit meetings, nearly all Steelers players expressed their support for Rodgers' return. The decision hinges on the hiring of a new head coach, as their preference will play a significant role in determining the quarterback situation. If the new head coach has a defensive background, the offensive coordinator's opinion may also be influential. Owner Art Rooney II noted that Rodgers initially joined the Steelers to play under former coach Mike Tomlin. The team's approach may be to allow Rodgers to decide his future, especially following his previous experiences with the Jets. The hiring of a new coach will be a pivotal factor in Rodgers' decision and the team's direction.
