Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said he has spoken with free agent QB Aaron Rodgers "weekly."
Fantasy Impact
McCarthy added his conversations with Rodgers have been similar to conversations over the years. The veteran remains a free agent with a return to Pittsburgh being a possibility.
Aaron Rodgers said he has not yet made any decisions on his future.
Fantasy Impact
Rodgers has been linked to returning to the Steelers for another season under his former coach Mike McCarthy. There should be an update on his status in the coming months.
Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not expected to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026 after head coach Mike Tomlin stepped down.
Fantasy Impact
According to Rapoport, Tomlin's departure could impact Rodgers' status in the Steel City for 2026. The veteran quarterback is a free agent following his 21st NFL season. Rapoport left things open regarding whether Rodgers could retire or keep playing, but if he does play a 22nd season, he could be looking at a fourth team in five years.
Aaron Rodgers completed 31 of his 47 passes for 294 yards and one touchdown while adding a 20-yard rush in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Rodgers helped lead the Steelers to the AFC North crown with the win. His lone touchdown pass went to Calvin Austin III on a 26-yard catch in the fourth quarter on what wound up being the game-winner. Rodgers wraps his 2025 regular season with 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He will now prepare to host the Texans in next week's Wild-Card round of the playoffs.
Aaron Rodgers completed 21-of-39 passes for 168 yards in the Steelers 13-6 loss to the Browns. He rushed one time for six yards.
Fantasy Impact
Rodgers was dealing with a depleted receiving corps without DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin. The Steelers' offense never really seemed to get going until the final drive of the game, in which the comeback effort fell just short. Rodgers and the Steelers will take on the Ravens in Week 18, with the winner winning the AFC North.
