We are in draft week, and the Pittsburgh Steelers should know any day now what Aaron Rodgers will do in 2026.

With the four-time All-Pro still not sure whether he wants to return or not, the Steelers have been patiently waiting for a decision from Rodgers.

Expected to let the franchise know before the draft, so the franchise, if needed, can select a quarterback, we shouldn't have to wait too long to find out what Rodgers' next move is.

And if he is still undecided, defensive stud Cam Heyward made his feelings clear about whether he wants Rodgers to return.

"He's worn the black and gold. Just return, baby!" Heyward said on the Rich Eisen Show. "That's all we need. I think he had a fun time being a part of this crew and we really enjoyed his company. I'd like to be able to run it back. with him."

Will Rodgers return?

Your guess is as good as mine.

One would think that Rodgers would likely already know his intentions for 2026, and I wouldn't mind betting the Steelers possibly know as well, it just hasn't been made public yet.

With the Steelers under Mike McCarthy looking to keep Mike Tomlin's record of consecutive winning seasons alive, Rodgers, many think, is the player to best keep that record rolling.
