Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is re-signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2026 season, per @RapSheet. The veteran signal-caller reportedly finalized the agreement during a visit to Pittsburgh this weekend, ending weeks of speculation regarding his future in the league.
Rodgers, 42, enters his second year with the Steelers after leading the franchise to an AFC North title and a 10-7 record in 2025. His return solidifies the quarterback position for head coach Mike McCarthy, as the duo looks to build on last year's playoff appearance. The Steelers had previously placed a rare unrestricted free-agent tender on Rodgers in April to retain his rights through the offseason.
In 16 starts last season, the four-time MVP threw for 3,322 yards and 24 touchdowns. His decision to stay in Pittsburgh comes after reports linked him to other potential suitors, including the Arizona Cardinals. With Rodgers back in the fold, the Steelers remain positioned as the favorites to defend their division crown in the upcoming season.
