Aaron Rodgers Signs One-Year Deal with Steelers for 2025 NFL Season

Aaron Rodgers has signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, ending months of speculation about his future. The deal, reportedly worth less than $20 million, addresses the Steelers' urgent need for a quarterback following a period of instability at the position. Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP and 10-time Pro Bowler, is set to participate in the Steelers' upcoming mandatory minicamp, which will give insight into his physical readiness after injuries in recent seasons, including a torn Achilles in 2023. Fans and analysts remain divided, with some viewing Rodgers as a potential key to a successful playoff run, while others express skepticism due to his age and recent injury history. This signing marks Rodgers' 21st NFL season, and he is expected to start in the Steelers' opening game against his former team, the New York Jets. The move also highlights the shifting quarterback dynamics in the league, with former Steelers starters Justin Fields and Russell Wilson now with other teams.
