Michael Pittman Jr. on Aaron Rodgers return: 'I have no expectations'
Michael Pittman Jr. doesn't know if Aaron Rodgers will return to the Steelers in 2026, even after talking to him.
If you listen closely enough, you can hear the "Jeopardy! " music playing in the background. Decision day still hasn't arrived for Aaron Rodgers , who is still debating whether he will return to the Pittsburgh Steelers for his 22nd NFL season.
It's anyone's guess whether the four-time NFL MVP laces up the cleats again in 2026 and don't expect his teammates to know either – especially Michael Pittman Jr. The newest Steelers receiver sat down for an interview with USA TODAY Sports' Tyler Dragon, where he was asked about Rodgers and whether he expects the quarterback to return. "Honestly I have no expectations," Pittman said, who took the opportunity to look back on his career.
"Think back to my history back in Indy," he added. "So much quarterback turnover, this and that. I just roll with the punches.
Whatever happens, happens. " While Pittman didn't have any indication about Rodgers' playing future, he did speak to the quarterback about things other than football. "I actually had the opportunity to talk to him in Orange County a couple weeks back," Pittman said.
