The Pittsburgh Steelers are still waiting to hear whether or not Aaron Rodgers wants to return for another season, but there doesn’t seem to be a deadline on his decision.
“There’s been no deadline that’s been put in front of me,” Rodgers said earlier this offseason. “There’s no contract offer or anything, so there’s nothing that I’m having to debate between. I’m a free agent.”
Rodgers revealed he’s, “enjoying my time with my wife and enjoying this part of the off season, and I think there’s conversations to be had down the line, but right now, there hasn’t been any progressive conversations. I love Mike [McCarthy], and Mike and I have kept some contact over the years.”
With uncertainty around his future and the Steelers quarterback situation, the team’s feelings on the future Hall of Fame quarterback have been revealed.

Steelers insider Gerry Dulac reported the team doesn’t have any reservations about whether or not Rodgers can get the job done as a starting quarterback in the NFL – like it did before the 2025 season.
“[The Steelers] don't have any of the same doubts that might have existed last year about whether Rodgers had anything left in his 42-year-old tank,” Dulac wrote.
“He convinced them otherwise when he threw 24 touchdowns, had just seven interceptions, led them to a division title and missed only one game with an injury (broken wrist). That despite having the fewest pass attempts when he's played at least 16 games in his career.”
Rodgers was spotted with Steelers quarterback Will Howard at a charity event over the weekend.
