Rodgers Calls 2025 Final NFL Season with Steelers

Aaron Rodgers has signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, announcing that the 2025 NFL season will be his final year before retirement. Veteran Cam Heyward and other teammates assert Rodgers is fully committed, easing concerns over his integration into the team. However, former Steelers player James Harrison has speculated that Rodgers could be released midseason if results disappoint, though most insiders believe this is unlikely. Critics such as ESPN’s Ryan Clark argue the signing may leave the Steelers without a clear quarterback successor for the 2026 Draft. Rodgers credits coach Mike Tomlin's leadership as a decisive factor in joining, and the team is focused on a strong playoff push. The outcome of the season will depend on Rodgers’ performance and the team’s cohesion during his final NFL campaign.
