Aaron Rodgers was constantly in headlines throughout the offseason despite not being officially rostered by any franchise. Rodgers was heavily linked to various teams, but he most frequently found himself connected to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Now, Rodgers has made his final decision on the team he’ll play for in the 2025 season, per one prominent league insider.
“Aaron Rodgers plans to fly to Pittsburgh this week and participate in the Steelers mandatory minicamp next week,” Adam Schefter reported on Thursday.
“Steelers never wavered in their belief that Aaron Rodgers eventually would sign with Pittsburgh. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin loomed large in this entire situation. Tomlin was a drawing card for Rodgers, and was happy to work within Rodgers’ timeline. He is a major reason that Rodgers will be a Steeler.”
Fans reacted to the massive news on social media.
“Steelers winning the division now,” one fan predicted on social media.
“If the Steelers were serious they would have traded for Mahomes,” someone else added.
“How is this the exact moment in time that Rodgers decided to announce he’s signing,” one person wanted to know.
It’ll be interesting to see if Rodgers can bring the Steelers back into title contention, or if his best days really are behind him.
