Aaron Rodgers says the 2026 NFL season will be his last
Aaron Rodgers says his 22nd season in the NFL will be his last.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback said “this is it” when asked Wednesday if he will retire at the end of the 2026 season.
The 42-year-old did not expand on why he came to that conclusion.
Rodgers signed a one-year deal to return to the Steelers just before the start of organized team activities.
The four-time NFL MVP says the hiring of Mike McCarthy as coach played a factor in his decision to return to the Steelers after helping lead the club to the AFC North title last season.
