Rodgers Nears Steelers Decision
7 May
Summary
- Aaron Rodgers expected to visit Pittsburgh soon.
- Steelers confident Rodgers will play for them in 2026.
- A $15.5 million tender was placed on Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers is expected to visit Pittsburgh in the upcoming days, signaling a potential resolution regarding his future with the Steelers. Throughout a months-long process, the organization has maintained confidence that the four-time MVP will play in 2026, and that it will be for the Steelers.
The Steelers placed an unrestricted free agent tender on Rodgers last week, valued at approximately $15.5 million. This tender serves as a placeholder for negotiation and aims to secure a compensatory draft pick if Rodgers chooses to play for another team. It also ensures the Steelers retain his rights if he is not signed by the start of training camp.
While previous target dates for Rodgers' decision have passed, including around free agency and the NFL Draft, internal expectations now focus on a conclusion around the start of OTAs on May 18. Team president Art Rooney II recently indicated an expected resolution within the next few weeks, suggesting clarity is imminent.
