Aaron Rodgers signs one‑year deal to return to Pittsburgh Steelers for 2026 season

Aaron Rodgers Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 contract one‑year deal $25 million

Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, 42, has agreed to a one‑year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2026 NFL season. The deal is worth up to $25 million, with a base salary of $22‑23 million, according to ESPN source Adam Schefter. Rodgers previously played the 2025 season in Pittsburgh, throwing for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions, helping the Steelers win the AFC North before a 30‑6 loss to the Houston Texans in the divisional round.

Rodgers said the decision was “for my soul” rather than ego, emphasizing his desire to stay with coach Mike Tomlin and the team. Media reports note the contract may have been negotiated informally, with some insiders suggesting a “handshake deal” that could be at risk of collapse mid‑season. The move reunites Rodgers with former Packers coach Mike McCarthy, with whom he won a Super Bowl in Green Bay.

Other coverage captured Rodgers in Pittsburgh enjoying ice cream and attending Organized Team Activities, confirming his presence in the city ahead of the season.
