Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has re-signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year contract worth up to $25 million, marking his 22nd NFL season.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has re-signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year contract valued at up to $25 million, including $22 million guaranteed. This agreement marks Rodgers' 22nd season in the NFL and his second with Pittsburgh.
Rodgers' return coincides with the start of the Steelers' organized team activities (OTAs). His presence at OTAs is notable, as he had previously joined the team later in the offseason.
Teammates have expressed enthusiasm about Rodgers' return. Wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. commented on Rodgers' performance during practice, stating, "He made a couple of great throws. I was like wow, I'm really playing with Aaron."
Rodgers' decision to participate in OTAs is seen as a commitment to the team's preparation for the upcoming season. His leadership is expected to be instrumental as the Steelers aim to advance beyond the wild-card round of the playoffs, a feat they have not achieved in a decade.
The Steelers' quarterback roster also includes Will Howard, Mason Rudolph, and rookie Drew Allar. Rodgers' return provides stability and experience to the position as the team prepares for the 2026 season.
