Steelers ownership hopes for clarity on Aaron Rodgers’ future 'in the next month or so'

The Pittsburgh Steelers formally introduced Mike McCarthy on Tuesday, officially kicking off a new era. McCarthy replaces Mike Tomlin, who stepped down after 19 seasons as the Steelers' head coach.

Among the questions McCarthy and the Steelers' front office will need to answer is who they intend to have as their starting quarterback next season. 

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Steelers last offseason. At 42, he has not ruled out a 2026 return, but the team is waiting to see what comes next.
