Steelers Sign Aaron Rodgers for One-Year Final NFL Season

Aaron Rodgers has signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2025 NFL season, which he has confirmed will likely be his final season before retirement. Rodgers emphasized his desire to finish his career with peace and enjoyment, praising the Steelers' leadership and the city’s winning expectations. His decision gives the Steelers clarity and time to plan for their next franchise quarterback, with potential prospects in the 2026 draft and free agency. Despite Rodgers' advanced age and a decline in athleticism, his passing ability remains strong, offering the Steelers a better chance at competitiveness than previous veteran quarterbacks like Russell Wilson. Rodgers also expressed his intention to live a private life after retirement, distancing himself from the public eye and football-related roles. The Steelers, who have struggled to find a long-term successor to Ben Roethlisberger since 2021, view Rodgers as a short-term solution while preparing for the future.
