Steelers shift mandatory minicamp, possibly altering the Aaron Rodgers timeline
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Steelers' 2026 mandatory minicamp is scheduled for June 2-4, followed by four voluntary OTA sessions on June 8, 9, 11, and 12, differing from last year's schedule.
- Last year, Aaron Rodgers signed his contract just before the mandatory minicamp, aligning with the offseason program's structure, but this year the timing complicates that approach.
- If Rodgers signs before the mandatory minicamp this year, he may face the decision of attending the subsequent voluntary OTA sessions or waiting to sign until after the entire offseason program.
- Given his familiarity with coach Mike McCarthy’s offense and the team, Rodgers might choose to stay out of sight during the offseason and return only when training camp opens in July.
