Steelers' Updated Depth Chart, NFL Salary Cap After Aaron Rodgers' Reported 1-Year Contract

The Pittsburgh Steelers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth up to $25 million, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Here's a look at the Steelers' offensive depth chart, per Ourlads.

	Starter	Backup	3rd-String	4th-String
QB	Aaron Rodgers	Mason Rudolph	Will Howard	Drew Allar
RB	Jaylen Warren	Rico Dowdle	Kaleb Johnson
FB	Riley Nokakowski
LWR	DK Metcalf	Roman Wilson	A.T. Perry
RWR	Michael Pittman Jr.	Ben Skowronek	Cole Burgess
SWR	Germie Bernard	Kaden Wetjen	Max Hurleman
LT	Troy Fautanu	Broderick Jones	Lorenzo Thompson
LG	Spencer Anderson	Gennings Dunker	Doug Nester
C	Zach Frazier	Brock Hoffman	Ryan McCollum
RG	Mason McCormick	Jack Driscoll	Aiden Williams
RT	Max Iheanachor	Dylan Cook	Steven Jones

The Steelers had $10.7 million in cap space before Schefter announced the move, per Over the Cap. Given Rodgers' reported contract, one can guess the Steelers will make some moves (perhaps restructuring of deals) to get under the cap for the 2026 season.

The 42-year-old Rodgers is a 10-time Pro Bowler, four-time All-Pro and four-time NFL MVP. The active leader in passing touchdowns (527) is entering his 22nd NFL season and second with the Steelers.

Last year, Rodgers completed 65.7 percent of his passes for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions (6.7 yards per attempt). The Steelers won 10 games and took the AFC North division crown.

Pittsburgh made some big moves this offseason, adding wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. from the Indianapolis Colts via trade. The Steelers also added former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean on a three-year contract. Running back Rico Dowdle's now in the backfield alongside Jaylen Warren as well.

In the draft, the Steelers selected offensive tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round. The Arizona State product looks slated to start at right tackle. Alabama wide receiver Germie Bernard, the second-round pick, looks like the top slot wideout.

Pittsburgh opens the 2026 season on Sept. 13 at home vs. the Atlanta Falcons.
