The former New York Jets player made 17 appearances for the Jets in 2024, but they decided to move on from the former Super Bowl winner, leaving Rodgers out in the cold.
Now, he is heading to the Steelers. Without a solid QB in the last five years, Rodgers is the fifth quarterback in five years for the team in black and gold if he is the starter in September. It will also be his 21st year as a professional.
The one-year contract is for $13.65 million, which includes $10 million guaranteed and has a maximum value of $19.5 million, ESPN reported, citing sources. The deal is pending a physical, the franchise announced.
In an interesting twist of fate, the Steelers travel to face the Jets at MetLife Stadium for their opener of the 2025/26 season.
He could also face up against the Green Bay Packers later in the season, taking on the team where he won it all back in 2011 with his new employers.
Last year, Pittsburgh ended the season with a 10-7 regular season record before losing to rivals the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs.
