Aaron Rodgers continues to keep NFL fans on edge this offseason as he drops subtle yet powerful hints about a potential return to the league. During a recent Q&A session in Austin, Rodgers cryptically mentioned, “There’s a team that might play in Chicago this year,” sparking widespread speculation about his next destination. With rumors surrounding a possible move to the Pittsburgh Steelers , the veteran quarterback’s NFL future remains one of the hottest topics as the new season approaches.


Aaron Rodgers hints NFL return, fuels Steelers rumors after Chicago comment




Aaron Rodgers hasn’t thrown a pass in months, yet he continues to throw the NFL world into chaos, this time with a single cryptic line delivered at a casual Q&A in Austin, Texas.


The future Hall of Famer, still unsigned and technically a free agent, was attending an event hosted by rapper and friend Mike Stud when a young fan took the mic. The question was; Would Rodgers ever consider playing for the Chicago Bears?



“No, but I believe there's a team that might play in Chicago this year, on a road trip,” he said with a grin. When someone asked if he was “speaking in code,” Rodgers didn’t elaborate. Instead, he doubled down with a jab only he could deliver: “I love Chicago, though, way more than they love me.”



A popular Steelers fan page on X immediately connected the dots: Pittsburgh is scheduled to face the Bears in Chicago on November 23. And with the Steelers’ quarterback situation still less than solidified, social media exploded with theories, some far-fetched, others not so much.


Could Pittsburgh really be in play?


Some people think Rodgers was just being tricky, but the timing makes you wonder. The Jets seem ready to move on, the Bears are out, and the Steelers might be a good fit for Rodgers if he wants to play one more season.

Rodgers knows how powerful his words are, especially when he’s vague. Whether he’s serious about coming back or just stirring up talk, he’s doing what he does best, keeping everyone guessing. Pittsburgh isn’t the only option, but since Rodgers mentioned a team playing in Chicago and the Steelers are the ones visiting, this rumor feels more real than just a fan idea.
