Overview
- A week of reports pointing to a Pittsburgh visit and possible deal ended Friday with GM Omar Khan saying on radio he did not know Rodgers’ whereabouts.
- By Saturday, multiple reporters said no meeting was scheduled, while the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac reported Rodgers was in town but staying away from the facility as his agent handled discussions.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday that communication with Rodgers has been constant and a breakthrough could come as soon as Sunday, with a salary expected to land above the roughly $15 million tender.
- The Steelers used a rare unrestricted free-agent tender that gives them matching rights, sets a 2026 salary floor near $15 million, and creates a July deadline effect for finalizing his status.
- Rodgers remains unsigned after a solid 2025 in Pittsburgh, and with OTAs starting May 18 the team’s quarterback reps now tilt to Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and rookie Drew Allar until a decision is made.
