Heading into the 2025 season, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers sounded like a guy who would be playing his final season. After two decades in the NFL, four MVP trophies, and a Super Bowl title against the team he now calls his own, it wasn't a shock that he was viewing this season as his going-out party, so to speak.
An AFC North title and solid overall season later, and things seemingly have changed.
Even before he helped Pittsburgh take down the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18 to earn a playoff berth, Rodgers went out of his way to talk about being on a 1-year deal and having options should he want to play in 2026.
