The Pittsburgh Steelers remain open to an Aaron Rodgers reunion in 2026, even though it’s unlikely due to Mike Tomlin’s resignation, sources told ESPN.
The Steelers players are more than open to Rodgers returning to Pittsburgh; they want the four-time league MVP back and conveyed as much to various members of the Steelers organization during their exit meetings last week, according to sources.
Almost to a man, Steelers players universally praised Rodgers during their exit interviews, and most if not all of them want the veteran quarterback to return in 2026. His support amongst players was universal, and those around the organization pointed out how beloved and respected Rodgers was there.
Houston Texans, they still are. The fact that so many within the organization want him back has propelled the case to bring him back, as uncertain or unlikely as it still might be.
Rodgers said after the loss to Houston in the AFC wild-card round that he was «not going to make any emotional decisions» regarding his future.
«I’m disappointed,» he said. «Obviously, it was such a fun year. A lot of adversity but a lot of fun.»
