Steelers Wait on Rodgers' Decision, Contract Talks Stall

0:00It's March 26th. Welcome in. This is NFL News today, where the league meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. The Pittsburgh Steelers are still waiting to hear if Aaron Rogers will return for another season or retire at age 42. The team remains patient with ongoing positive talks, but no final decision yet. Former Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch thinks the hold up boils down to contract money. Rogers earned $13 million last year, but outperformed that deal, and now his side likely wants closer to $30 million for next. Season Rogers addressed it recently on the Pat McAfee Show, noting the Steelers have a made a formal offer, and that discussions will happen later. Last season, he completed 65% of his passes for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and just 7 exceptions. Analysts see a middle ground around $20 million as realistic, given Rogers age and slight dip in stats. The Steelers have salary cap room, especially without big extensions looming for stars like

1:04TJ Watt or DK Metcalf. If Rogers signs, it sets up one more run at a Super Bowl with the future Hall of Famer under center, though the timeline stays unclear for now.
