Link to story Steelers | Chances of Aaron Rodgers returning increasing Sun Feb 8, 11:31 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers appears increasingly likely to return to the club for the 2026 season, even though he has not officially announced that he will continue his playing career, in the opinion of NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. In recent weeks, Rodgers has spoken with WR DK Metcalf and new head coach Mike McCarthy multiple times. The Steelers are hopeful that Rodgers will make a final decision regarding his status for 2026 prior to the start of free agency in mid-March.
| Footballguys view: When McCarthy was hired this was expected even though all of the reports said that wasn't why the Steelers hired McCarthy. Offensive line coach James Campen is also close to Rodgers, so it just makes sense that he would want to return. Rodgers could be more production in 2026 playing with an offensive coaching staff that knows his game and works well with him. |

| Footballguys view: Angelichio and Mike McCarthy have a previous working relationship from when they were with the Packers. He's a long-time NFL assistant, and now Angelichio gets to take on a larger role with a historic franchise. McCarthy is likely to be the team's play-caller on gameday. |

Link to story Steelers | Brian Angelichio interviewing for OC vacancy Tue Feb 3, 02:21 PM
Minnesota Vikings TE coach Brian Angelichio is interviewing with the Pittsburgh Steelers for their offensive coordinator vacancy on Tuesday, Feb. 3.
| Footballguys view: With Saints assistant Scott Tolzien, who interviewed for the Steelers OC spot on Monday, deciding to stay in New Orleans, it appears that Angelichio is the only name left in the race in Pittsburgh. As SI.com notes, during his time in Minnesota, Angelichio has been a key part of Kevin O'Connell's staff and offensive game planning. Angelichio doesn't have experience calling plays at the NFL level, but that won't matter in Pittsburgh as head coach Mike McCarthy will handle that role. It would allow Angelichio to learn the role slowly while helping to form and execute McCarthy's game plan. |
Steelers | Scott Tolzien to interview with PIT Mon Feb 2, 10:46 AM
New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien will interview for the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator vacancy Monday, Feb. 2.
| Footballguys view: Tolzien was the quarterbacks coach for the final two seasons as McCarthy's run as the Cowboys' head coach. McCarthy also coached Tolzien when he was a quarterback for the Packers from 2013-2015, so landing the Steelers job would continue a long-running relationship between the two men. |

| Footballguys view: Graham had been with the Raiders since 2022 and through three different head coaches (Josh McDaniels, Antonio Pierce, Pete Carroll). New Steelers HC Mike McCarthy hired Graham to be the Packers' linebacker coach back in 2018, so the two have a previous working relationship. The Steelers are known for their defense, and Graham is tasked with helping bring them back to being championship contenders. |

Link to story Steelers | McCarthy will call his own plays in Pittsburgh Tue Jan 27, 03:22 PM
Since the days of quarterbacks calling their own plays, the Steelers have never had a head coach who called the offensive plays. They now do. Mike McCarthy, in his introductory press conference, was asked whether he would handle those duties. "Definitely, I will call the plays on offense, and so obviously will run the offense," McCarthy said.
| Footballguys view: As PFT's Mike Florio contends, the offense has been more of a liability than a strength since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger. Even in 2025, with Aaron Rodgers playing quarterback, the Steelers ranked 25th in total offense, at 305.6 yards per game. The Steelers were 15th in scoring, with 23.4 points per game. So, McCarthy will have his work cut out for him, regardless of whether Rodgers returns for another year. |
Steelers | McCarthy definitely wants Aaron Rodgers to return for 2026 season Tue Jan 27, 03:17 PM
They spent more than a decade together in Green Bay. New Steelers coach Mike McCarthy wants that relationship to resume and to continue. During his introductory press conference, McCarthy was asked whether it's his "personal preference," in light of the "best-case scenario," whether he wants quarterback Aaron Rodgers to return for 2026. "I mean, definitely," McCarthy said. "But, you know, I think just like anything, knowing Aaron long enough, going through seasons . . . when guys are up at that stage of their career, they need to step away and decompress. I think that's very important."
| Footballguys view: McCarthy was later asked if there was a timeline for both the team and Rodgers to make a decision. "Timelines, we haven't discussed that yet," McCarthy said. They'll need to discuss it fairly soon. Free agency starts in six weeks. If the Steelers will be looking for another veteran quarterback, they'll need to have a plan. As PFT suggests, the first question is whether Rodgers wants to return to a team that doesn't have Mike Tomlin in charge. Rodgers may choose to explore other options before making a decision, with retirement always a real possibility. |
