Aaron Rodgers’ time with the Pittsburgh Steelers appears to be coming to an end.
The day after Mike Tomlin left after 19 seasons as the team’s head coach, Steelers president Art Rooney II said the coaching change would dictate Rodgers’ future.
“Aaron came here to play for Mike, so I think that might affect his decision,” Rooney said.
Rodgers, 42, joined the Steelers after two seasons as a member of the New York Jets. He played 16 games in 2025 and threw for 3,322 yards on 327 completed passes out of 498 thrown.
He also threw 24 touchdown passes against seven interceptions. The Steelers finished the season with a 10-7 record, atop the AFC North division.
The team’s season ended Monday in the first round of the playoffs, with a 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans.
Rodgers completed only 17 passes for 146 yards and was the victim of an interception and two fumbles. Rodgers came to Tomlin’s defense after the game, but he didn’t talk about his future.
Rodgers won a Super Bowl and won four MVP awards during his 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He is fifth all-time in passing yards (66,274) and fourth in passing touchdowns (527).
