Rodgers helped the Steelers reach last season’s play-offs, before coach Mike Tomlin chose to bring his 19-year tenure to an end.<\/a><\/p>\n Tomlin was replaced by Mike McCarthy, who was head coach for most of Rodgers’ 18-year stint with the Green Bay Packers, and they won a Super Bowl together.<\/p>\n After leaving the Packers for the New York Jets in 2023, Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles on his debut – ruling him out for the rest of the season. He was then released after a disappointing second season in New York.<\/p>\n Rodgers is not as mobile as he used to be and missed one game for Pittsburgh in 2025 because of a broken wrist.<\/p>\n But, despite an inconsistent season by the Steelers, he managed to steer them to a 10-7 record and their first AFC North title since 2020, before being outclassed by the Houston Texans in the post-season.<\/p>\n With his future still unclear, Pittsburgh added a quarterback in the NFL Draft in April, selecting Drew Allar<\/a> in the third round, and the Steelers may look to develop him, or 2025 draft pick Will Howard, to be Rodgers’ potential successor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
