Rodgers Non-Committal on 2026 Return, Ponders Retirement After Week 18 Finale

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers, 42, is non-committal about playing in 2026 and will decide on his future after the Week 18 game against Baltimore. Despite coach Mike Tomlin's hope for his return, Rodgers, who signed a one-year deal, expects interest from "one or two" teams but is unsure if he wants to continue his 21-season career. He must first decide whether or not to retire. This season, he has completed 65.6% of passes for 3,028 yards, 23 TDs, and 7 INTs in 15 games, with the Steelers in a win-and-in playoff scenario.
