Last year, quarterback Aaron Rodgers made a secret visit to Pittsburgh in March. (It didn’t remain a secret for very long, to his chagrin.) Today, Rodgers is reportedly returning for another visit.
As first reported by 93.7 The Fan, Rodgers [will be visiting Pittsburgh](https://x.com/937theFan/status/2052369399177265154?s=20) on Thursday. Per 93.7 The Fan, Rodgers is “expected” to sign with the Steelers this weekend.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, in reposting a tweet from 93.7 The Fan, confirms the planned visit. However, Rapoport adds that “[no deal is in place](https://x.com/RapSheet/status/2052381978066858452?s=20).”
Regardless of whether Rodgers does or doesn’t sign a contract this weekend, it’s finally something — after several months of nothing. The team’s uncertainty prompted it to place the unrestricted free agent tender on Rodgers last week, a move that both extends the window for compensatory draft-pick consideration if he signs elsewhere and complicates significantly his ability to wait beyond July 22 to see if a better opportunity arises elsewhere.
As always when it comes to NFL matters, nothing is done until it’s done. At a time when many were wondering whether anything would get done for 2026 between Rodgers and the Steelers, there’s finally a tangible indication that he may indeed play for Pittsburgh again this season.
