Aaron Rodgers Named Steelers Starting QB for 2025

Aaron Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP and former Super Bowl champion, has agreed to a one-year deal to become the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2025 season. The 41-year-old chose Pittsburgh after a disappointing stint with the New York Jets, citing head coach Mike Tomlin’s leadership as a key factor. Rodgers will mentor younger quarterbacks, including rookie Will Howard, and is expected to attend mandatory minicamp next week. Financial details remain unclear, but Rodgers prioritized team fit and commitment over salary. The Steelers hope his experience and arm talent will improve their playoff chances in the competitive AFC North. Rodgers' arrival brings optimism to the franchise, which is aiming for its first postseason win since 2016.
