Aaron Rodgers Signs One-Year Deal with Pittsburgh Steelers

Aaron Rodgers has officially signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, ending months of speculation and free agency uncertainty. The deal, reportedly worth up to $19.5 million with $10 million guaranteed, marks a new chapter for the 41-year-old quarterback following a turbulent two-year stint with the New York Jets. The Steelers have struggled to find a stable quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger's retirement in 2022, cycling through several players without success, and hope Rodgers' experience and talent can help them overcome recent playoff disappointments. Despite his impressive career achievements, there are doubts about Rodgers' physical decline and whether he can meet expectations in Pittsburgh, especially given his history of demanding control over the offense. The NFL has scheduled high-profile games to spotlight Rodgers, including a Week 8 Sunday Night Football matchup against his former team, the Green Bay Packers, at Lambeau Field, intensifying the emotional and competitive narrative. This move highlights the Steelers' willingness to wait for Rodgers, banking on his legacy and leadership to revitalize their team.
