Aaron Rodgers to retire after 2026 season with Pittsburgh Steelers

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, 42, confirmed that the 2026 NFL season will be his final year in the league. He made the announcement after signing a one‑year, $25 million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, saying simply, “Yes, this is it.”

Rodgers will spend his last campaign under head coach Mike McCarthy, the former Packers coach who guided him to a Super Bowl victory in 2010, creating a “full‑circle” narrative that he highlighted during the press briefing.

The decision ends a 22‑year career that includes four NFL MVP awards, a Super Bowl ring and over 66,000 passing yards. Rodgers’ retirement will shape the Steelers’ offseason plans and adds heightened media attention to every game he plays in the 2026 season.
