Aaron Rodgers Reportedly Set for Steelers Talks in Pittsburgh This Weekend

The veteran quarterback is expected to decide soon, with Steelers president Art Rooney II saying an answer could come before offseason team activities on May 18.

  • Aaron Rodgers is expected in Pittsburgh this weekend to discuss a contract with the Steelers, with NFL Media reporting the veteran quarterback is likely to re-sign for the 2026 season.
  • Pittsburgh recently placed an unrestricted free agent tender on Rodgers to protect their interests, a rare tactic guaranteeing the team a 2027 compensatory draft pick if he signs elsewhere.
  • Rodgers would receive a 9% raise on a deal worth over $15 million if he signs the tender, while the 42-year-old remains the team's primary option despite the recent selection of Drew Allar.
  • Team officials set an unofficial deadline for an answer by the start of Organized Team Activities on May 18; Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network noted "no deal is in place" yet.
  • Exclusive negotiation rights remain with Pittsburgh until July 22 if Rodgers fails to make a decision, securing the team's quarterback situation for the 2026 season.
