Aaron Rodgers Hints at 2025 NFL Return, Potential Pittsburgh Steelers Link

Aaron Rodgers has dropped a subtle but significant hint regarding his potential NFL future, suggesting he might join a team that will play a road game in Chicago in 2025. During a Q&A in Austin, Texas, Rodgers said, "I believe there’s a team that might play in Chicago this year on a road trip," fueling speculation about the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are scheduled to play at Soldier Field in Week 12. Rodgers has a storied history of success at Soldier Field and has visited the Steelers' facility this offseason, maintaining contact with coach Mike Tomlin, which adds weight to these rumors. Despite the uncertainty and Rodgers prioritizing personal matters, reports indicate that a deal with the Steelers could be imminent, with Pittsburgh offering a clear path to starting quarterback and sufficient salary cap space. The Steelers' current quarterbacks, Mason Rudolph and rookie Will Howard, seem less likely to start, increasing the plausibility of Rodgers joining the team. While nothing is finalized, Rodgers’ remarks and recent movements suggest he is leaning towards continuing his career with Pittsburgh, potentially facing his former team, the New York Jets, in the season opener.
