Those Steelers fans hoping to see a reunion between Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers in 2026 might not want to hold their breath, according to new reports.
This week, NFL insider Aditi Kinkhabwala stopped by 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, and during her appearance on the show, she disclosed that many sources around Aaron Rodgers – who served as the starting quarterback for the Steelers last season on a one-year deal – don't foresee the legendary quarterback returning to the Steel City in 2026.
“Great NFL insider Aditi Kinkhabwala says on 93. 7 The Fan that people around Aaron Rodgers believe there’s a ‘minuscule chance’ he’s back with the Steelers in 2026,” said Andrew Fillipponi, who serves as a host with 93.7, on X. “And that’s Rodgers decision. Not the Steelers. Based on what they observed at the end of last season.”
Rodgers just wrapped up his 21st season in the league, and his first season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He finished the year with his best completion percentage (65.7%) since the 2021 season, and passed for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions during the regular season.
Reports indicated that, following the season's end, Rodgers had no interest in returning to the Steelers, but that was before the hiring of new head coach Mike McCarthy. McCarthy was the head coach for much of the gunslinger's tenure with the Green Bay Packers, and the duo captured Super Bowl XLV for the Packers in 2010.
