Aaron Rodgers is off to the Steel City at long last.
The four-time NFL most valuable player informed the Pittsburgh Steelers he’ll be flying in Friday to sign a one-year deal before minicamp kicks off next week, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo reported on Thursday.
Rodgers is expected to be on the field when minicamp commences next Tuesday, Pelissero added. Pittsburgh’s minicamp runs from Tuesday to Thursday.
During an age in which many big-name free agents choose new teams a day or two before free agency even officially begins, Rodgers, always his own person, waited until well after the 2025 NFL Draft to digest and sort out his next move. Pittsburgh coincidentally did little in the draft to make the marriage less likely, waiting until Day 3 to select a quarterback (Will Howard; No. 185 overall).
That left the Steelers staring at a QB room composed of Howard, Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson, with one of the NFL’s most obvious needs for a difference-making signal-caller.
Especially following the signing of Russell Wilson by the New York Giants — another Rodgers suitor — and several teams finding QBs through the draft, Pittsburgh inking the 41-year-old became the expected result for both parties, barring a Rodgers retirement.
