Aaron Rodgers tells reporters in Pittsburgh that the 2026 season will be his final NFL season. Speaking on Wednesday, the Steelers quarterback answers a question about whether the upcoming year could be his last with “Yes. This is it.” Multiple outlets report that Rodgers has said he plans to retire after playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers following a lengthy career in the league. The Athletic and other sources note that Rodgers agreed to a one-year deal with the Steelers last weekend, a move that reunites him with former Packers coach Mike McCarthy, now with Pittsburgh. Several reports describe Rodgers as entering his 22nd season in the NFL and emphasize his age of 42. While the articles vary in tone, they consistently state the same core points: Rodgers publicly confirms his retirement plan after the 2026 season, and his decision follows his recent one-year contract with the Steelers and his coaching reunion with McCarthy.
