If you didn’t believe Aaron Rodgers<\/a> when he first said this would be his final seas<\/span>on, maybe now it will sink in.<\/p>\n

Rodgers, who re-signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> this offseason and said that his 22nd NFL season will be his last, reiterated his desire to retire at training camp on Monday.<\/p>\n

“This is it,” the 42-year-old told media members at a press conference.<\/p>\n

The thought of retirement has hovered around Rodgers for quite some time now, including this offseason, when the Steelers, and the rest of the NFL<\/a>, for that matter, waited patiently to see if this was indeed the end of his career.<\/p>\n

The Steelers, meanwhile, hired Mike McCarthy as their next head coach after parting ways with longtime sideline leader Mike Tomlin. McCarthy and Rodgers have the obvious rapport of winning together as Green Bay Packers<\/a>. They spent 15 seasons at Lambeau Field.<\/p>\n

Rodgers admitted McCarthy\u2019s hiring was a key part of him wanting to ride out one more season into the sunset.<\/p>\n

“I thought last year might be it and then Mike got hired, and then talked to the wife and she said, \u2018You can do one more year. See if it works out.\u2019 And then it kinda all came together,” he said.<\/p>\n

When one reporter brought up that Rodgers’ top receiver, DK Metcalf, had said players often claim it’s their last season only to return, Rodgers doubled down.<\/p>\n

“No, zero debate,” he responded.<\/p>\n

Rodgers said the same thing in May during a press conference after signing his one-year pact with the Steelers, which he joined after a lowly tenure with the New York Jets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his first season with the Steelers in 2025, Rodgers went 10-6, throwing for 3,322 yards with a 65.7% completion rate and 24 touchdowns with seven interceptions.<\/p>\n

The Steelers also bolstered its offense this season, adding veteran wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts. They also signed Rico Dowdle to work with Jaylen Warren in the backfield after Kenneth Gainwell, who Rodgers loved to dump the ball to, landed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> this offseason.<\/p>\n
