Mike McCarthy expressed enthusiasm for a potential Aaron Rodgers-Pittsburgh Steelers reunion during a tribute event for late Packers president Bob Harlan. Speaking at Lambeau Field Atrium, McCarthy called the scenario a "great story" but stopped short of confirming details, noting Rodgers' personal considerations at age 42. The Steelers lack clarity on Rodgers' 2026 plans, though GM Omar Khan expects a decision sooner than last year's last-minute signing.

Rodgers, who led Pittsburgh to the AFC North title in his rookie season with the team, remains a free agent after coach Mike Tomlin's departure and McCarthy's arrival.
