NFL News: Aaron Rodgers gets bold 2025 prediction from Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger

Aaron Rodgers continues to delay his response to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offer for the 2025 NFL season, and much has been said about how Mike Tomlin’s team would perform with or without the addition of the 41-year-old quarterback. Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger didn’t want to stay out of the conversation and shared his perspective.

Predictions can become outdated quickly once the new season begins. The league has consistently shown that expectations don’t always match outcomes. However, a Super Bowl champion like Big Ben certainly has the experience to make a bold forecast.

Tomlin’s team is currently surrounded by speculation during this offseason, most of it centered around the quarterback situation. The big question is how A-Rod would fare in Pittsburgh. On his latest podcast, Roethlisberger addressed the Steelers’ regular season schedule.

“I have us 7-10 without Aaron [Rodgers] and I have us 11-6 with Aaron,” Roethlisberger said on his Footbahlin podcast. The Steelers legend claimed that bringing in veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers could mean up to four additional wins for the team.

Will Rodgers join the Steelers?

Rodgers, 41 years old and a four-time NFL MVP, met with the Steelers in March but left the facility without signing a contract. According to multiple reports, his prolonged silence is due to “personal matters,” but the reality is that Pittsburgh is still waiting for him.

What challenges would Rodgers face if he joins the Steelers?

There’s a lot at stake in Pittsburgh depending on Rodgers’ decision. On one hand, the franchise has finished the regular season with a winning record for the last 18 years, so Tomlin would be taking a risk if that streak ends. At the same time, the black & gold franchise hasn’t won a playoff game since 2017.
