Overview

  • ESPN reporting indicates no immediate clarity is expected, with Rodgers likely deciding months after the season ends.
  • Rodgers has said he will evaluate his options once the season concludes and will be a free agent after his one‑year deal.
  • Pittsburgh is receptive to another year for Rodgers, citing his health and rapport with Mike Tomlin, according to Jeremy Fowler.
  • The Steelers are evaluating quarterbacks for the 2026 draft, with Rodgers viewed as a potential short‑term bridge if he plays on.
  • The Week 18 matchup with the Ravens will decide the AFC North and a playoff berth, which reporters say could influence his choice, and he enters with 3,028 yards, 23 touchdowns and a 65.6% completion rate.
