Aaron Rodgers signs reported 1-year, $13.65 million contract with Steelers, including $10 million guaranteed
Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers are officially official. On Saturday, the veteran quarterback went to the Steelers’ practice facility to sign a one-year deal with the team, per multiple reports.
The contract is worth $13.65 million, with $10 million guaranteed, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. With incentives, which include playing time and team performance, the contract is worth up to $19.5 million.
Rodgers, after a long offseason full of hints, finally ended the speculation earlier this week by agreeing to a short-term deal with Pittsburgh. The four-time NFL MVP will now put on a Steelers uniform as the end of his career winds down.

Rodgers’ move to Pittsburgh came after two disappointing years with the New York Jets. As New York went through a coaching and GM change this offseason, Rodgers was informed that the Jets were moving on without him.
In the weeks since, Rodgers had been weighing whether to retire or to keep playing, though the Steelers staff seemed optimistic that Rodgers would join in the offseason.
Rodgers’ commitment to the Steelers sets up a handful of exciting matchups in the 2025 season, including an early matchup against the Jets, and another matchup against his other former team, the Green Bay Packers.
