- Earlier reports suggested the Steelers expected a decision before the 2026 NFL Draft, but Pelissero indicated Rodgers is unlikely to announce anything before then.
- Steelers owner Art Rooney II hoped for a decision around the draft, but Pelissero emphasized the key deadline is having Rodgers ready by OTAs in mid-May.
- Rodgers had a strong debut season with the Steelers in 2025, throwing for 3,322 yards and 24 touchdowns, raising hopes for continued success if he returns.
- The Steelers are optimistic that Rodgers will not retire, as his presence could help the team secure their first playoff win in ten years.
