Aaron Rodgers and his seemingly never-ending waiting game have dominated NFL headlines over the past several months, but the Pittsburgh Steelers have finally received some great news just a few days after the 2026 NFL Draft.

According to NFL insider Jason La Canfora, the Steelers expect a “‘formal word’” from Rodgers in the coming weeks, and there is optimism he will play next season.

“The Steelers still have no formal word from aging quarterback Aaron Rodgers about his plans for 2026,” La Canfora wrote. “But, there remains a sense within the organization that he will play next season, with formal word anticipated in the coming weeks.”

Rodgers has been down this road before with the Steelers, making the team wait all of last offseason before finally signing on the dotted line in June.

Hopefully, La Canfora’s report comes to fruition, and Rodgers gives his decision to the Steelers sooner rather than later, as fans eagerly await a glimpse at the team’s completed new-look quarterback room.
