Steelers are open to bringing Aaron Rodgers back for 2026 season if he keeps playing

Our Summary

Aaron Rodgers, the 42-year-old quarterback, is facing a pivotal decision regarding his NFL career as he prepares for the Pittsburgh Steelers' playoff matchup against the Houston Texans. After joining the Steelers last offseason, Rodgers played a key role in leading the team to its first AFC North title since 2020, throwing for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Despite initially stating he was "pretty sure" he would retire after the 2025 season, Rodgers has left open the possibility of returning for a 22nd season. The Steelers, who have found success with Rodgers as their QB1, are reportedly eager to retain him if he chooses to continue playing. Rodgers' future remains uncertain, but for now, he is focused on the upcoming playoff game against the Texans.
