Rodgers Skips Steelers Meeting Amid Rumors, Future Uncertain

Aaron Rodgers did not meet with the Pittsburgh Steelers despite reports of a planned visit last Friday. Adam Schefter told ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" on Monday that neither the team nor Rodgers' agent knew of any scheduled discussions. The quarterback's status with Pittsburgh remains undecided.

Reports from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review placed Rodgers in the city over the weekend, while 93.7 The Fan said he was there for golf. Schefter expressed belief that Rodgers will appear on the Steelers' depth chart by training camp, with organized team activities set to begin next Monday. The team tendered Rodgers as an unrestricted free agent last month, giving Pittsburgh the right to match outside offers.

In 2025, Rodgers started 16 games for the Steelers, leading them to a 10-7 record and a playoff berth. Pittsburgh lost in the wild-card round to the Houston Texans, extending a playoff winless streak to eight seasons. He threw for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions that year.

The Steelers open the 2026 season under new coach Mike McCarthy, formerly Rodgers' head coach in Green Bay. Pittsburgh added receiver Michael Pittman Jr. from Indianapolis and drafted Alabama's Germie Bernard, while running back Rico Dowdle joins to pair with Jaylen Warren.
