Steelers Wait on Rodgers, Draft Looms

0:00On April 20th, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in limbo waiting on Aaron Rogers to spill on his plans for next season. The 42-year-old gunslinger hid free agency after a solid year with 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and only seven interceptions, hitting 65.7% of his throws. The team snagged the AFC North Title last season but fell to the Houston Texans in the wild car playoffs. Now under new head coach Mike McCarthy, who shares a deep history with Rogers from their Green Bay days, including that Super Bowl 45 win over Pittsburgh. Rogers has kept lines open with McCarthy and even chatted with Team Bress, saying the vibes were good back then. But no one's pushing deadlines or waving contracts his way, it's all talked so far with zero real movement. McCarthy straight up rooting for Rogers to return, hyping it as an epic comeback tale for the four-time MVP at this stage in his career. Without him though, Pittsburgh faces a quarterback hunt, maybe grabbing one early in the 2026 draft.
