The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers to a one-year deal after he was released by the New York Jets. Rodgers announced on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday,
“I’m pretty sure this is it. That’s why we just did a 1-year deal.”
Rodgers is 41 years old, and he will be 42 years old on December 2. With this being his final season in the NFL, it will be interesting to see what he can do with the Steelers.
Pittsburgh signed Rodgers to a one-year deal after the Steelers did not re-sign either Justin Fields or Russell Wilson in the offseason. There was a chance that they were going to start Mason Rudolph for the 2025 NFL season, but Pittsburgh decided to bring in Rodgers instead.
