Rodgers to Visit Steelers for Re-Sign Meetings

Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers is traveling to Pittsburgh this weekend for meetings with the Steelers, where reports indicate he is expected to re-sign with the team ahead of the 2026 season.

According to 93.7 The Fan, Rodgers' visit begins Thursday, with a contract signing anticipated over the weekend. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed the trip but noted no agreement has been finalized. Steelers beat writer Mark Kaboly added that Rodgers has not yet notified the team of his plans, though both sides believe a deal will come together. The timing aligns with the Steelers' demand for clarity before organized team activities begin on May 18.

Pittsburgh placed an unrestricted free agent tender on Rodgers after the 2026 NFL Draft, a rare right-of-first-refusal move valued at about $15 million, a 10 percent increase from his 2025 base salary. The tender secures the team's negotiating rights and potential compensatory draft pick if Rodgers signs elsewhere before July 22. Steelers owner Art Rooney II said last month that a resolution was imminent. "I think we're close," Rooney stated. "He's kind of told us his time frame... I think we'll have an answer soon."
