Pittsburgh should clearly understand what Rodgers plans to do before the new league year begins on March 11, just in case it needs to look for a free agent quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>CBS Sports\u2019 Tyler Sullivan believes Rodgers will retire, and the Steelers will sign free agent quarterback Malik Willis, who played for the Green Bay Packers, to take his place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron Rodgers kept his future a mystery when speaking to the \u201cPat McAfee Show\u201d on Wednesday, so there is no definitive answer if he\u2019ll play in 2026 or not,\u201d Sullivan wrote on Friday. \u201cWhile the 42-year-old did say that he continues to work out, he also said that no contract has been offered by the Steelers, and no deadline to make a decision has been set either.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith free agency on Pittsburgh\u2019s doorstep, they don\u2019t have a ton of time to see where Rodgers\u2019 head is at. If they do wait to hear from him, they run the risk of missing out on other available quarterbacks. When push comes to shove, we\u2019ll predict Rodgers decides to hang it up after a remarkable Hall of Fame career, which he\u2019ll have ended competing in the playoffs after winning the AFC North. Not too shabby of a final chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Willis has been in the NFL since 2022, spending two seasons with the Tennessee Titans and two years with the Packers. Willis has only six career stats, but has appeared in 22 games, totaling 1,322 yards and six touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers face a big decision this offseason about whether to bring back quarterback Aaron Rodgers for another season.
