Aaron Rodgers watch continues.

The 2026 NFL Draft is officially in the rearview and the Pittsburgh Steelers still don't know if their starting quarterback will return for another season. Team owner Art Rooney II spoke about the latest with Rodgers during an appearance on NFL Network's "The Insiders" on April 29.

"We've been in contact with Aaron on a regular basis," Rooney told NFL Media's Tom Pelissero and Judy Battista. "He's been keeping us up to date on his plans."

“Even though I thought it probably would have been concluded by now, I think we will come to a conclusion here in the next few weeks."

Rodgers' decision to play or retire has been hanging over the organization for months, with no end in sight. The four-time NFL MVP told "The Pat McAfee Show" on March 4 that he didn't have a contract offer or a deadline from the Steelers.

Rooney previously expected a decision ahead of the draft, something that never materialized.

Aaron Rodgers played football at Pleasant Valley High School in Chico, California from 1998 to 2001. During his junior and senior seasons as starting quarterback, Rodgers amassed 4,419 passing yards while helping the Vikings to a 17-7 mark.
