Rodgers helped the Steelers reach last season’s play-offs, before coach Mike Tomlin chose to bring his 19-year tenure to an end.

Tomlin was replaced by Mike McCarthy, who was head coach for most of Rodgers’ 18-year stint with the Green Bay Packers, and they won a Super Bowl together.

After leaving the Packers for the New York Jets in 2023, Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles on his debut – ruling him out for the rest of the season. He was then released after a disappointing second season in New York.

Rodgers is not as mobile as he used to be and missed one game for Pittsburgh in 2025 because of a broken wrist.

But, despite an inconsistent season by the Steelers, he managed to steer them to a 10-7 record and their first AFC North title since 2020, before being outclassed by the Houston Texans in the post-season.

With his future still unclear, Pittsburgh added a quarterback in the NFL Draft in April, selecting Drew Allar in the third round, and the Steelers may look to develop him, or 2025 draft pick Will Howard, to be Rodgers’ potential successor.
