Aaron Rodgers' Steelers Return Unlikely; Cardinals Emerge as Potential Suitor

AutoDraft Pro AI

Aaron Rodgers' future with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2026 season faces "minuscule chance" of return, with his decision expected by March 11th. The veteran QB, who threw 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2025, is reportedly weighing retirement or playing elsewhere. Despite the Steelers being considered his only viable option, the Arizona Cardinals are now emerging as a potential suitor, linked by offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and new coach Mike LaFleur, both with past connections to Rodgers.
