Following the 2024 season, the Steelers parted ways with QBS Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Pittsburgh signed Skyler Thompson this offseason and drafted national champion QB Wil Howard.
Mason Rudolph is another QB on the 2025 Pittsburgh roster. You need to have a signal caller that makes a difference. None of the aforementioned QBs brought it to the table. This offseason, the Steelers have loaned Aaron Rodgers a bank to be that person. On Thursday, NFL Insiders announced that Rogers has officially signed a one-year contract with Pittsburgh.

Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers will join a new team for the 2025 season. Two years after the Jets, Rodgers stays in the AFC, travels west to play for the Steelers. Most free agents prefer to sign as soon as possible. There are only a lot of spots on the NFL roster. Aaron Rodgers marched to his own drum beat and took the time to consider where he wanted to play in 2025.
The 41-year-old started all 17 games for the Jets in 2024. New York ended 5-12 and missed the postseason. After a losing season, the Jets released Aaron Rodgers and made him a free agent. It was clear where Rogers was heading after the free agency shaking. Pittsburgh was his best option, and the Steelers desperately needed a starting QB in 2025.
Aaron Rodgers is swapping locations with Justin Fields, who signed the Jets. Fields launched six Pittsburgh games in 2024 before Russell Wilson began the final 11 games of the season. Rogers is the most experienced QB on the roster with long shots. This offseason, the Steelers traded George Pickens for the Cowboys. To add to their WR rooms, they traded for Seahawks and WR DK Metcalf. How far can Aaron Rodgers take the Steelers in the AFC?
