Steelers Await Rodgers' Decision: Play or Retire?
24 Mar
Summary
- Michael Pittman believes Aaron Rodgers wants to play.
- Coach Mike McCarthy remains tight-lipped about Rodgers' future.
- Rodgers is a free agent and faces a decision on retirement.

Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman has shared his perspective, indicating his belief that quarterback Aaron Rodgers intends to continue his playing career. This comes even as head coach Mike McCarthy has communicated with Rodgers since the Steelers' hiring, yet he maintains a stance of not knowing Rodgers' ultimate decision.
Rodgers, currently a free agent, spent last season with the Steelers. Similar to the situation in the 2025 offseason, he is not rushing his decision on whether to return to Pittsburgh or retire from the sport. The Steelers organization also appears to be in no immediate hurry to confirm Rodgers as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season.
Amidst this uncertainty, the hiring of coach Mike McCarthy, who previously worked with Rodgers in Green Bay from 2006 to 2018 and secured a Super Bowl win together, suggests a potential return for the veteran quarterback. During their time with the Packers, Rodgers earned two MVP awards under McCarthy's leadership.
