Odds Increase for Aaron Rodgers' Return to Steelers for 22nd Season

The odds are reportedly increasing for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to return for his 22nd NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers, 42, has spoken with new Steelers coach Mike McCarthy, with whom he won a Super Bowl and two MVPs in Green Bay. Despite indicating 2025 might be his last season, Rodgers remained noncommittal after the Steelers' wild-card loss. In 2025, he completed 65.7% of passes for 3,322 yards, 24 TDs, 7 INTs, and a 94.8 passer rating, plus a rushing TD. WR DK Metcalf has also tried to convince him to return.
