Steelers president Art Rooney II told NFL Network last week that he remained confident Rodgers would be the team's quarterback in 2026 and believed the uncertainty would wrap up soon. However, Rooney also said at the NFL's annual meeting in late March that the Steelers expected an answer from Rodgers by the NFL draft, which didn't happen.
General manager Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy, however, said before the draft that the Steelers were not putting a deadline on the 42-year-old quarterback to notify the team of his decision. Kahn indicated the team's conversations with Rodgers had "all been positive and good."
