Steelers Bet on Rodgers Again for 2026, Timing Key to a Deal

NFL insider Adam Schefter says Aaron Rodgers is likely to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2026 season, with a deal expected around mandatory minicamp; Pittsburgh placed the right-of-first-refusal tender to discourage a holdout and keep leverage.
