Steelers Consider Re-signing Rodgers, Pursue Speed Receiver

Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers and, after seven weeks, has helped them sit atop the AFC North. He has produced a career-resurgent start (about 1,270 yards, 14 touchdowns, five interceptions and roughly a 68% completion rate), prompting league insiders to say he may play beyond 2025. Teammates and coaches describe Rodgers as a locker-room "glue" who leads player-led meetings and mentors younger players. Pittsburgh recognizes the risk of relying on a 42-year-old quarterback but is weighing re-signing him for 2026 while also pursuing a long-term answer in the draft. Ahead of the trade deadline the Steelers are actively seeking a complementary speed receiver to pair with DK Metcalf and bolster Rodgers’ passing game.
