Tomlin Backs Rodgers for Steelers, McCarthy Reunion Eyed

0:00It's April 27th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and Ready for Kickoff. Aaron Rogers just wrapped his 21st NFL season, his first with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year deal. He joined mainly because of head coach Mike Tomlin, but Tomlin stepped down after last season. Now the Steelers have hired Mike McCarthy, Rogers' old coordinator from 13 years in Green Bay. Tomlin made his debut as an analyst on NBC's football 9th America and dropped a bold take on the Steelers' 2026 quarterback spot. When pressed, he said it forced to pick it'd be AR, meaning Aaron Rogers. Fans and insiders are buzzing because Tomlin coached Rogers all last year, giving him the best read on the veteran's headspace. Rogers has that deep love for football, for mentoring young players to team vibes, and Tomlin sees them still sharpen fit. The real hook is McCarthy's track record with Rogers' 9 playoff runs, Super Bowl 45 win, and two MVP awards.

1:00That reunion could pull Rogers back for season 22 instead of hanging it up. With Tomlin's insight leading the chatter, keep eyes on Pittsburgh. This could shape up as the Steelers' next big play.
