Sources: Rodgers to visit Steelers, likely to play for team in '26

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is expected to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend and is likely to play for them this season, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Thursday.

There is no agreement between the Steelers and Rodgers at this time, sources told ESPN.

Steelers president Art Rooney II told NFL Network last week that he remained confident Rodgers would be the team's quarterback in 2026 and believed the uncertainty would wrap up soon. However, Rooney also said at the NFL's annual meeting in late March that the Steelers expected an answer from Rodgers by the NFL draft, which didn't happen.

Returning to the Steelers in 2026 would mean a reunion between Rodgers and McCarthy, his coach for 13 seasons with the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers won two of his four NFL MVP awards playing under McCarthy and a Super Bowl championship after the 2010 season when Green Bay defeated the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.

Good news for the AFC North: play an often-injured and old QB twice a year.

For his age, he's well above average. For the NFL he is mediocre or worse. This is getting as bad as the Colts bringing back Philip rivers. Laughing stock.

chose an offensive tackle (Max Iheanachor) with their first pick in the 2026 draft and took a WR (Germie Bernard) with their second pick. Fourth around, another WR (Kaden Wetjen). I wonder if Rodgers provided any input on those selections. They would suit his agenda.
