Steelers await Rodgers decision ahead of the draft

Steelers owner Art Rooney II says he expects Aaron Rodgers’ decision on returning for 2026 to come before the April 23 NFL draft in Pittsburgh, with retirement or another season in Pittsburgh as likely options. Rodgers helped Pittsburgh reach the 2025 postseason, and Rooney noted Rodgers told him he wouldn’t drag out the decision as long as last year. With Mason Rudolph and Will Howard on the roster, Rodgers’ choice will shape the Steelers’ quarterback plans.

Rodgers unlikely to return to Steelers after Tomlin steps down

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says Aaron Rodgers is not expected to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers after Mike Tomlin's resignation, shifting the team’s plans from a Rodgers reunion to hiring a new head coach and choosing a quarterback elsewhere. Rodgers’ future remains uncertain as the Steelers, who previously considered a Rodgers option, prepare for a post-Tomlin era following a 10-7 season in which Rodgers threw for 3,322 yards, 24 TDs and seven interceptions.

Rodgers’ Steelers Chapter Hangs in the Balance After Tomlin Exit

Rooney said Aaron Rodgers came to Pittsburgh to play for Mike Tomlin, and with Tomlin’s departure his future with the Steelers—and possibly the NFL—is in doubt. Rodgers signed a one-year deal, and after a 30–6 wild-card loss to the Texans, his decision will likely hinge on whether he wants to continue in a rebuilding Steelers era, with retirement a real possibility in his 40s; a formal decision is expected in coming months.
