The Pittsburgh Steelers placed an unrestricted free agent tender on 42-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers on April 28, 2026—shortly after the NFL's April 27 deadline—a seldom-used move (six times league-wide in the past decade) to secure a potential 2027 compensatory draft pick if he signs elsewhere. Owner Art Rooney II and head coach Mike McCarthy downplayed its impact on ongoing re-signing talks, expecting a deal soon despite Rodgers' indecision and speculation about other teams.
