‘They were not going to tank’: Jerome Bettis supports Steelers’ decision to re-sign Aaron Rodgers

While he’ll compete against Aaron Rodgers at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship later this summer, Jerome Bettis will pull for Rodgers this fall when the four-time NFL MVP embarks on his final season.

Rodgers, who has already stated that 2026 will be his last season, will spend it with the Steelers, who decided to run it back with Rodgers instead of turning the offense over to veteran Mason Rudolph, second-year quarterback Will Howard or rookie Drew Allar. 

While some fans would have preferred to see one of the Steelers’ young quarterbacks step into the starting role, Bettis — a Hall of Fame running

No position in sports has changed more over the years than quarterback. A century ago, quarterbacks made their living by running and kicking, essentially doing anything other than throwing the ball. Today’s quarterbacks have made 4,000 passing yards — a total that was basically unfathomable during the league’s first 50 years — a routine feat. 

We’re living in the most prolific era when it comes to passing quarterbacks. But that doesn’t mean that there weren’t great quarterbacks in previous eras. In fact, many of today’s advancements in the passing game were inspired by quarterbacks who helped revolutionize the position. Along with

Jaxson Dart was sacked by one of his own teammates after the New York Giants quarterback took part in President Donald Trump’s campaign-style rally for Republican Rep. Mike Lawler in New York on Friday. 

Dart, who introduced Trump on stage, was called out afterward by Giants pass rusher Abdul Carter, who like Dart was selected by the Giants in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. 

“Thought this (expletive) was AI,” Carter wrote on X while alluding to Dart’s introductory speech. “What we doing, man?”  

Carter’s response quickly led to speculation about potential issues within the Giants’ locker room. New York

While it took several months for Aaron Rodgers to figure out his status for the 2026 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback has already determined that the upcoming season will be the final one in a career that will one day be immortalized in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 

By coming back for another season, the 42-year-old Rodgers will have a chance to move up even further in the NFL record book. He’s 13 touchdown passes away from passing Peyton Manning and into third place in career touchdown passes. Rodgers is also less than 4,000 yards away from joining Manning, Tom

Aaron Rodgers return may frustrate fans, but Steelers made right call for 2026 and beyond

The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ 111 wins since 2015 are tied for the third-most in the NFL over that span, but that success has yielded just three playoff wins, the last of which came in 2017.

The lack of quarterback stability since Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement has contributed to the drought, which is why just about everyone in Pittsburgh would rather spend the 2026 season watching one of its young quarterbacks, even if it means seeing the franchise’s 22-year run of non-losing seasons come to an end. 

Instead, the Steelers once again turned to Aaron Rodgers, bringing back the 42-year-old future Hall of Famer on
