Rodgers' final season in Pittsburgh with McCarthy and familiar offensive system

Rodgers signed for a second season in Pittsburgh and announced this is his final year before retirement after the 2026-27 campaign. The 42-year-old will work with head coach Mike McCarthy, his coach for 12-plus seasons in Green Bay, who intends to call his own plays but will lean heavily on offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio (former Packers tight ends coach 2016-2018), providing significant carryover in the offensive system for Rodgers.
