Aaron Rodgers bonded with his pass catchers.
Aaron Rodgers spent time bonding with his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates to get ready for Year 22, his final season in the NFL.
The future Hall of Famer posted photos with D.K. Metcalf and other teammates on Instagram on Sunday, captioning the post, "Last Rodeo."
Rodgers put up 3,322 passing yards, 24 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions last season. The future Hall of Famer completed 65.7% of his passes.
The Steelers won the AFC North in 2025, but they lost to the Houston Texans in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
Pittsburgh helped Rodgers this offseason by acquiring Michael Pittman Jr. from the Indianapolis Colts. Rodgers will target Pittman Jr., Robert Tonyan, Metcalf, Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Roman Wilson next season.
Rodgers told reporters at OTAs that he likes the moves Pittsburgh made this offseason after losing to Houston.
"I think we were close last year," Rodgers said. "I think we added some good pieces. I felt like we needed a lineman probably at some point, drafted a guy in the first round that I like. I thought we needed somebody who could work in the slot. Obviously, Germie (Bernard), being picked there, is a guy they think can do it. Bring in (Michael) Pittman, was obviously a good addition. Rico Dowdle, Jamel (Dean) on defense. (Jaquan) Brisker as well, so a lot of good pieces added to the mix."
Rodgers has been in the NFL since 2005. He has played for the Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Steelers and has 527 career passing touchdowns and 66,274 career passing yards in the regular season.
Rodgers hasn't won a playoff game since the 2020 season, while the Steelers haven't won a postseason game since the 2016 season. It will be intriguing to see how Rodgers and Co. perform in 2026.
A four-time MVP, Rodgers will retire from the NFL after next season. Will he go out on top or lose to Father Time?
Only time will tell.
