Mike McCarthy has Confidence in Aaron Rodgers if he Re-Signs

Tuesday, April 21, 10:18 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy didn't give a firm timeframe for when in the offseason program he would want free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers to join the team, but he expressed confidence in Rodgers if the team ends up re-signing him, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. "I think Aaron is probably more in tune than we would realize. But I have confidence in where he would be the day he would arrive, if that's his decision," McCarthy said. There is still some uncertainty as to Rodgers' future, and nothing is expected to be announced before this week's NFL draft, but all signs continue to point to the future Hall of Famer returning for another year in the Steel City to reunite with McCarthy. The 42-year-old four-time NFL MVP led Pittsburgh to the postseason in 2025, but he finished as the QB19 in fantasy scoring with 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 16 regular-season games. The Steelers added receiver Michael Pittman Jr. in a trade this offseason, but Rodgers should still be viewed as a low-upside, low-end QB2 in fantasy if he officially returns to Pittsburgh for one more year in 2026.

Joe Flacco News

Joe Flacco Reaches Agreement to Return to Bengals

Tuesday, March 24, 2:03 PM

Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday to re-sign with the Cincinnati Bengals, his agents told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Flacco will return to Cincy for a 19th NFL season after spending time with both the Bengals and Cleveland Browns in 2025. The 41-year-old veteran began the year as the starter in Cleveland, but he was traded to the Bengals after four starts to fill in for the injured Joe Burrow. Flacco became a streaming QB in fantasy formats after landing in Cincy, as he threw for 1,664 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions in nine games (six starts) after the trade. Despite his age, Flacco has proved in recent seasons that he still has a little magic left in the tank as a backup signal-caller. Burrow continues to be hampered by injuries in his career, so if he misses more time in 2026, Flacco will be called to the rescue again and could once again be worth picking up off the waiver wire for QB-needy fantasy managers.
