'This is it' - Aaron Rodgers confirms 2026 NFL season will be his last

Aaron Rodgers confirmed he will retire after the 2026 NFL season. He signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers worth up to $25 million after weighing whether to return for a second year. Asked if his 22nd season would be his last, Rodgers said, “Yes, this is it.” Rodgers said the Steelers’ decision to hire Mike McCarthy was a key factor in his choice to return. He previously thought his time in Pittsburgh was likely over after Mike Tomlin resigned in January. The Steelers finished 10-7, won the AFC North, and lost 30-6 to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round. Rodgers threw for 3,322 yards with 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

""But when the decision was made to hire Mike [McCarthy], I started opening my mind back up to coming back." The Steelers went 10-7 last season, winning the AFC North before losing 30-6 to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round. Rodgers completed 65.7 per cent of his passes for 3,322 yards and 24 touchdowns with seven interceptions."
