Yahoo Sports NFL on Aaron Rodgers
From the article
"Zero debate. Zero." Rodgers said when asked if he might reconsider playing beyond 2026 if things went well. He added: "I thought last year might be it. And then Mike [McCarthy] got hired, and I talked to the wife and she said, 'You can do one more year.'"
STACKED’s take
Rodgers confirms 2026 is his final season; won't play beyond despite potential success.
The source reports that Rodgers, 42, definitively confirmed 2026 will be his final NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, stating there is 'zero debate' about retirement after this year. Rodgers initially thought 2025 might be his last season but changed his mind when the Steelers hired Mike McCarthy, his former Green Bay Packers coach with whom he won a Super Bowl. Despite DK Metcalf suggesting Rodgers might reconsider if things went extremely well in 2026, Rodgers shut down that possibility, reiterating 'Zero debate. Zero.' At 42, Rodgers has not received MVP votes in four seasons but threw 24 touchdowns last season while helping the Steelers reach 10-6 and the postseason.
