Aaron Rodgers Officially Signs With Steelers For 2025 Nfl Season

Aaron Rodgers is heading to Pittsburgh. No, you’re not dreaming. It’s real, it’s happening, and it’s straight from Rodgers himself. The 41-year-old quarterback has confirmed he’s signing a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That’s according to The Sun, which reports the deal is worth a tidy $20 million.

Talk about a comeback plot twist. Rodgers, who was released by the New York Jets in March, is set to join the Steelers just in time for their mandatory minicamp, kicking off June 10. He’ll be in Pittsburgh this Friday. You know, just casually flying in to take over the QB1 spot.

This isn’t just a late-career detour. This is Aaron Rodgers stepping into a city that lives and breathes football, looking to reignite some fire under the Steelers’ offense.

The past two years? Rough. His 2023 season with the Jets lasted—brace yourself—four snaps. That Achilles injury sidelined him faster than you can say “Hail Mary.”

But 2024 saw the veteran bounce back. He started every game for the Jets, putting up 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Not bad for someone coming off a season-ending injury. Sadly for New York, they still wrapped the year at 5–13.

Now, the Steelers are calling his number. The QB room in Pittsburgh just got a serious upgrade. With Russell Wilson gone to the Giants and Justin Fields now (ironically) with the Jets, Rodgers walks into a leadership void—and he’s not exactly shy in front of a huddle.

What makes this juicier? The Steelers open their 2025 season against the Jets. You read that right. Rodgers’ first game in black and gold could be against the team that just cut him loose.

Even better, there’s a Week 8 game against the Green Bay Packers. His old stomping grounds. Eighteen years, one Super Bowl, and enough MVPs to start a collection.

Fans are circling both dates like Christmas morning. Whether you’re a Rodgers loyalist, a Steelers diehard, or just here for the drama—grab your popcorn. Pittsburgh’s got a new sheriff in town.
