Steelers Announce One-Year Deal With Aaron Rodgers, Pending Physical

The Pittsburgh Steelers officially announced Thursday evening that they’ve agreed to terms on a one-year contract with veteran QB Aaron Rodgers. 

The deal is pending a physical, but that should be a formality at this point with Rodgers not coming off any major injuries from last year. 

Reports from earlier mentioned that Rodgers is expected to sign a one-year contract worth around $20 million with Pittsburgh. 

The Steelers will have their starting quarterback in place for minicamp, which opens next week. 

Rodgers, 41, is a former first-round pick of the Packers back in 2005. He agreed to a four-year, $134 million extension that included over $100 million guaranteed in 2018. 

Rodgers was owed a base salary of $25 million in the final year of his deal in 2022 when he agreed to a three-year, $150 million extension with $101 million of the deal guaranteed.

After one year, the Packers traded him to the Jets for a package that included a second-round pick in 2023 and a conditional 2024 second that could become a first. 

He played just four snaps in 2023 before tearing his Achilles in Week 1 but returned as the Jets’ quarterback for the 2024 season. New York released him with a June 1 designation after the season. 

In 2024, Rodgers appeared in all 17 games for the Jets and completed 63 percent of his passes for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
