Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers he signed a one-year deal with the Steelers last offseason. At 42 years old, he does not rule out returning in 2026, but the team is waiting to see what comes next.
The new NFL league year began last week and the draft is just a few weeks away. As the steelmakers continues throughout the offseason, a new team appears to be entering the mix to land the veteran quarterback.
The Denver Broncos are reportedly considering adding Rodgers to their roster, Pro Football Talk reported Wednesday. If Rodgers moves to Denver, he would join a quarterback room led by Bo Nix over the past two seasons.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton could target a veteran quarterback as he looks to push Denver past the AFC Championship and into the NFL history books.
“Coach Sean Payton, who like any coach who has won a Super Bowl with one team is well aware that no coach has won a Super Bowl with two different franchises, may be tempted to roll the dice on a possible one-year upgrade (if Rodgers really were an upgrade) to finish the job the Broncos started in 2025,” the outlet reported. “For Payton, the chance to blaze a new trail for NFL coaches could be what brings him to Canton.”

Nix suffered an ankle injury in the AFC divisional playoff victory over the Buffalo Bills. Jarrett Stidham took over in the AFC title game, which the Broncos ultimately lost to the New England Patriots.
While the timeline for Nix’s recovery is still unclear, he remains in rehab and could be released by training camp. However, bringing in a veteran would give the Broncos more options.

Rodgers has not taken an official visit to the Broncos this offseason as of Wednesday.
Rodgers started in 16 games last season, throwing 24 touchdowns. He helped the Steelers end a five-season AFC North title drought. But Pittsburgh ultimately failed to break its windless streak in the playoffs, losing to the Houston Texans in the wild card round.
Former Ohio State standout Will Howard and NFL veteran Mason Rudolph will return to the Steelers’ quarterback room in 2026.
