The 42-year-old entered 2025 on a one-year deal with the intention of it being his final season. However, he kept the door open to return in 2026, and now the Steelers await his decision.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of his performance in 2025, Rodgers threw 24 touchdowns to just seven interceptions and led the Steelers to an AFC North championship. It\u2019s because of that year-long outing that Nick Shook of NFL Media ranked Rodgers as the No. 16 quarterback amongst all 63 to start a game in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron Rodgers bested Father Time for much of 2025 and is the primary reason the Steelers even reached the playoffs,\u201d Shook writes. \u201cHe produced some of his best games of the last three or four years and can definitely still fill a starting job somewhere in this league if he wants it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers was sandwiched between Brock Purdy (No. 15) and Baker Mayfield (No. 17).<\/p>\n<p>Should Rodgers return, he would reunite with his former head coach in Green Bay, Mike McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Let us know what you think in the comments<\/strong><\/em>. <strong><em>Be sure to bookmark Behind the Steel Curtain for all the latest news, breakdowns, and more!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers have made it clear that they would like to have Aaron Rodgers return for a second season in Pittsbugh, and a 22nd season in&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":152578,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-152577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>AARON RODGERS RANKED NO. 16 QB BY NFL ANALYST \u2014 FANS ARE ABSOLUTELY LIVID AND READY TO RIOT!
