But Rodgersâs Steelers teammates appear eager for him to stay. ESPNâs Adam Schefter reported that during exit interviews, players told the team theyâd like Rodgers to return in 2026, with almost universal praise and widespread support for him within the organization. đŹđ
Rodgers hasnât ruled out a return yet, though. Heâs expected to weigh his options this spring and did not commit to retiring or staying with the Steelers, choosing to take time away before deciding his future. âłđ¤
In 2025, Rodgers posted a 10-6 record with 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions over 16 starts, including a remarkable Week 18 fourth-quarter rally to clinch the AFC North against the Ravens. đđĽ
Their season ended poorly in the AFC wild-card round, as Pittsburgh failed to score a touchdown and Houston capitalized on two Rodgers turnovers for touchdowns in a 30-6 loss. The outcome underscored the uncertainty surrounding Rodgersâs future amid coaching changes and potential roster shifts. đđŞ
