The Arizona Cardinals have slowly emerged as a possible 2026 landing spot for Aaron Rodgers, potentially dashing the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback plans for this upcoming season. But as much hype as the Rodgers-to-Arizona rumors have picked up, the Steelers still appear to be the most likely fit for the 42-year-old quarterback.
Let's address the elephant in the room: the Cardinals have offensive weapons to entice Rodgers, an offensive coordinator he's all too familiar with, and a wide receiver actively recruiting him to Arizona. But that's where the speculation ends and Pittsburgh regains the advantage.
The Steelers have Mike McCarthy at head coach, a better offensive line, capable pass catchers, continue to be in contact with Rodgers, and are coming off a divisional title in 2025 — whereas the Cardinals are coming off an abysmal 3-14 record in a hyper-competitive NFC West.
While the buzz surrounding the Cardinals as a potential suitor has been fun, it's time to come back to reality — it's the Steelers or retirement for Rodgers in 2026.
