NFL Trade Rumors
According to Gerry Dulac, veteran QB Aaron Rodgers has informed the Steelers he plans to sign a contract and report to the team in time for minicamp next week.
Finally.
Tom Pelissero adds contract parameters have been in place for a while, with final details still needing to be worked out, though it should be around $20 million for one year. He says Rodgers will fly to Pittsburgh Friday to join the team.
Steelers beat reporter Mark Kaboly previously said he believed the plan has been for Rodgers to join the Steelers before minicamp.
Pittsburgh will now have their starting quarterback for the upcoming season in the fold and can begin the process of integrating him into the offense.
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.
