Schefter jokes Aaron Rodgers could reveal Steelers plans at NFL Draft

The Aaron Rodgers waiting game has been one of the longest-running storylines the Pittsburgh Steelers have been a part of this offseason — and ESPN insider Adam Schefter joined in on the laughs, suggesting a decision could come during the 2026 NFL Draft.

During a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Schefter joked that Rodgers could make the return announcement during the NFL Draft.

"What would be cool is, at some point in the draft, [Aaron Rodgers] walked out on stage and announced he was coming back," Schefter said. "They play Renegade, and he comes walking out to announce the Steelers' pick. That would be pretty cool."

Schefter went on to express uncertainty surrounding a potential timeline for when Rodgers could actually make his decision, as general estimates have continued to get pushed further and further back.

As hilarious as it would be for Rodgers to make his big announcement at the draft, the Steelers may need to wait a little while longer for official confirmation, potentially around June, when he signed his contract last season.
