Aaron Rodgers is gearing up for what could be one of the most historic seasons in NFL history. The four-time MVP is reportedly set to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers during a visit this weekend, marking his 22nd NFL season in 2026.

At 43 years old (he turns 43 on Dec. 2), Rodgers won't just be the oldest active player in the league—he'll be climbing the all-time ranks of quarterback longevity. When he takes the field in Week 1, he'll join an elite club of signal-callers who started games at age 43 or older, trailing only Tom Brady, Steve DeBerg, Vinny Testaverde, Warren Moon, and Philip Rivers in that department.

But Rodgers isn't just chasing age records; he's making history with his coach, too. Alongside longtime Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, who now leads the Steelers, Rodgers will become part of an unprecedented NFL first: the first head coach-starting quarterback duo to win a Super Bowl together (Super Bowl XLV against the Steelers, no less) and then start a game together on a different team. Talk about a full-circle moment.

For context, the oldest NFL players of all time include legends like George Blanda (who played until age 48 as a quarterback/kicker) and kicker Morten Andersen (who played through age 47). While Rodgers has some ground to cover there, his 22nd season promises to be one for the history books—and a must-watch for Steelers fans, Packers fans, and anyone who loves a good football story.
