Who did Aaron Rodgers sign with? Nobody yet. As of Monday, March 9, Rodgers has not signed with a new team, and the biggest question around him is still whether he will play in 2026 at all. NFL.com reported on March 4 that Rodgers said there is “no deadline” for his decision on returning to the Steelers, while Reuters reported on February 24 that he is set to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins on March 11.
(UPDATED, 7:06 p.m. ET, March 10): Adam Schefter reported that the Steelers want Rodgers to return, but Rodgers has not made a decision yet.
That is what makes this a real free-agency story. Rodgers is coming off a one-year deal with Pittsburgh, the Steelers have made clear they would welcome him back, and free agency is now open for negotiations even though no agreement has been announced. Spotrac lists Rodgers’ Steelers contract as a one-year, $13.65 million deal and identifies him as a 2026 unrestricted free agent.
Aaron Rodgers Free Agency News
The biggest Aaron Rodgers free agency news is that there still is no final answer. NFL.com reported last week that Pittsburgh would like Rodgers back if he decides to keep playing, and Reuters said the “door” remains open for a reunion. That means this is not a case where Rodgers has quietly signed elsewhere and the market is waiting on paperwork. He is still one of free agency’s biggest unresolved names.
That also explains why the search interest is so high. The Steelers are still involved, but until Rodgers actually commits to playing and signs a contract, every update is more about status than destination. For now, the clean answer to the headline question is that he has not signed with anyone.
Did Aaron Rodgers Retire?
No, Aaron Rodgers has not retired. He said on March 4 that he has not set a deadline for deciding whether he will play for Pittsburgh in 2026, and Reuters reported earlier this year that Rodgers, then 42, was undecided about playing in 2026. That keeps retirement on the table, but it is not something he has announced.
That distinction matters for free agency coverage. Rodgers is not being treated like a retired player making a comeback. He is being treated like a veteran quarterback weighing whether to return and, if he does, whether that return happens with the Steelers or somewhere else.
Aaron Rodgers Stats
Rodgers’ 2025 numbers help explain why teams would still wait on him. ESPN lists him at 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 2025 for Pittsburgh. Across 16 regular-season appearances, he completed 66% of his passes.
Those are not MVP-level numbers, but they are good enough to keep him relevant in a thin veteran quarterback market. That is especially true in March, when experienced starting options tend to draw interest quickly. This is part of why Rodgers’ undecided status still looms over the Steelers and the broader quarterback market.
Aaron Rodgers Contract, Age
Rodgers is 42, according to ESPN, and turns 43 on December 2, 2026. His most recent contract was the one-year Steelers deal worth $13.65 million, including a $10 million signing bonus and $10 million guaranteed, per Spotrac.
That contract setup is part of the appeal here. Rodgers is not tied to a long-term agreement, so any return decision can move quickly once he makes it. But until that happens, the answer to the main query stays the same: Aaron Rodgers has not signed with anybody yet.
What Happens Next?
The next step is Rodgers deciding whether he wants to play in 2026. If the answer is yes, Pittsburgh is clearly in the mix. If the answer is no, then this free-agency story ends without a signing at all. On March 9, though, there is still no new team to name.
