Rodgers Bets on Steelers' New Look, Returning After Offseason Push

Aaron Rodgers says he was close to returning to the Steelers after seeing their offseason makeover—adding an offensive lineman, a slot receiver, and veteran additions like Michael Pittman Jr., plus defensive players Jamel Dean and Jaquan Brisker—while staying in touch with Mike McCarthy. His decision came after evaluating health (he played through a wrist injury last season) and feeling the team’s new direction aligned with his readiness and the coaching staff, making this return feel like a net positive.

Steelers' Fautanu Pushes Back on Guard Move as OTAs Begin

During the Steelers' OTAs, Troy Fautanu made clear he does not want to switch from tackle to guard, even as new coach staff and the health status of Broderick Jones spark discussion about the offensive line.

Steelers Start OTAs With New Left-Side O-Line Shake-Up

The Steelers opened 2026 OTAs with a reshuffled starting offensive line: LT Troy Fautanu, LG Mason McCormick, C Zach Frazier, RG Spencer Anderson, and RT Dylan Cook. Rookies Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker did not start in the opening group, with Dunker at LG and Iheanachor at RT among the second unit; Brock Hoffman was behind Anderson at RG. Fautanu and McCormick have moved back to their college positions on the left side to maintain chemistry, while Anderson earns the first look at RG and Cook handles tackle duties. Broderick Jones participated in warmups but did not work in team periods due to neck surgery, and Pittsburgh plans to mix and match the line over the coming weeks as the unit isn’t set in stone.

Theismann: Steelers drafted Allar to hedge for 2027 QB class with Rodgers as mentor

NFL analyst Joe Theismann says the Steelers drafted Drew Allar in the third round to position themselves for a strong 2027 QB class, not just an immediate need. He suggests Allar could sit behind Aaron Rodgers (if he returns) and learn from a veteran, making Rodgers a mentor to both. While next year’s QB class appears deep, outcomes remain uncertain, and Pittsburgh’s move signals a long-term development plan with Allar’s franchise QB potential hinging on growth and opportunity.
