Aaron Rodgers Says 2026 Will Be Final Season
Rodgers said he wants to control how his career ends after re-signing with Pittsburgh on a one-year deal.
- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers confirmed in a press conference on Wednesday that the 2026 season will be his final NFL campaign after 21 seasons.
- After re-signing with the Steelers on a one-year deal over the weekend, Rodgers told reporters "this is it" when asked whether 2026 would be his final season.
- The 42-year-old's base salary is fully guaranteed at $22 million, with playoff incentives potentially raising the deal's maximum value to $25 million if he plays 75% of regular-season snaps.
- Five years after his final season concludes, Rodgers will head to Canton, Ohio, for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, joining other legendary quarterbacks.
