General manager Omar Khan reiterated during his press conference at the NFL Combine that he didn\u2019t foresee this year dragging on like 2025, and a recent report from <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/YahooSports\/status\/2026655150421500011?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">Adam Schefter<\/a> backs that up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Per Schefter, the belief is that Rodgers will make his decision by mid-march, which is right around the time the new league year begins. Schefter adds that the feeling is that he could be back with the Steelers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Rodgers originally stated on The Pat McAfee Show that he intended for 2025 to be his last season, which is why he and the team did a one-year deal. He threw 24 touchdowns to seven interceptions and helped lead the Steelers to an AFC North title, their first since 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let us know what you think in the comments.
