When Aaron Rodgers initially joined the Steelers midway through the team's offseason program, all signs pointed to this being Rodgers's last hurrah. Rodgers joined the Steelers on a one-year deal and said shortly after signing with Pittsburgh that he is "pretty sure" this will be his final NFL season and that's why he agreed to a one-year deal.
Rodgers has not officially stated any plans to continue playing NFL football beyond the 2025 season, but if he did consider returning in 2026, the Steelers might be interested in having him back. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Steelers could rethink their quarterback plans for next year because of how well Rodgers's tenure has gone so far. Fowler noted that the Steelers are keeping an eye out for the upcoming quarterback draft class, but that the organization would certainly "entertain" the idea of Rodgers returning for next season.
