Overview
- ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and The Athletic's Dianna Russini report the Steelers would consider re-signing Rodgers for 2026 after his strong start.
- Rodgers has said he is "pretty sure" this will be his final season and stated he intends to retire as a Green Bay Packer.
- Pittsburgh is 4-2 with Rodgers completing 68.6% of his passes for 1,270 yards, 14 touchdowns and five interceptions, including an NFL-best 8.1% touchdown rate per reports.
- Retaining Rodgers would allow the Steelers to draft a quarterback next spring while maintaining veteran stability, given the lack of an in-house successor.
- No agreement is in place, and the conversation about a possible extension is described as developing as Rodgers prepares to face the Packers in Week 8 at Acrisure Stadium.
