Aaron Rodgers will sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After several months full of uncertainty, the quarterback has decided to join Mike Tomlin in what could be the final season of his brilliant career.
Following two disappointing seasons with the Jets, New York decided to release the veteran, and from that moment on, Rodgers became one of the most sought-after names in free agency.
The former Super Bowl champion with the Packers was rumored to replace Matthew Stafford if the Rams let their star go. Later, he was linked to the Vikings because of his relationship with Kevin O’Connell, but finally, Pittsburgh is his next destination.
Is Aaron Rodgers signing with Steelers?
Yes. Aaron Rodgers will sign a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team might not be willing to commit to a longer deal, as the 2026 Draft is a key date in their plans to find a rookie franchise quarterback.
How much money will Aaron Rodgers earn in new contract with Steelers?
Aaron Rodgers publicly said he would be willing to play for one year and $10 million during an interview with Pat McAfee. However, the amount will likely be higher, and the benchmark is expected to be at least $20 million.
Other important references in this matter could be Sam Darnold and Geno Smith, who received new contracts this offseason. If Rodgers believes he has the same value as those names, Pittsburgh would have to put $30 million or more on the table.
