(WFRV)—Four-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl XLV MVP Aaron Rodgers plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport said Rodgers will reportedly arrive in Pittsburgh to sign with them ahead of mandatory minicamps next week.

Rodgers was traded to the Big Apple after the 2022-23 NFL season and the Green Bay legend spent two tumultuous years with the New York Jets. Rodgers unfortunately tore his Achilles tendon four snaps into his Jets career in 2023; however, he came back in time for 2024-25.
In 2024, the former Packers quarterback and his new team struggled to meet high expectations, as off-the-field drama surrounded the team.
Rodgers was reunited mid-season with his old teammate and favorite target, Davante Adams (now with the Los Angeles Rams), but the Jets’ season was beyond saving, as the team fired head coach Robert Saleh.
Following the 2024-25 season, rumors of retirement and trades arose surrounding Rodgers.
But, the Jets cut ties with Rodgers, per ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter, as the new league year began at 3 p.m. on March 12 (designated as a post-June 1 cut to save salary cap hit).

Now, Rodgers walks into the Steel City with the league’s longest tenured coach, Mike Tomlin. Rodgers will be a part of a positional room with recent draftee Will Howard, 2022 draft pick Skylar Thompson and veteran QB Mason Rudolph.
Rodgers and the Steelers are set to host the Packers on October 26, 2025. Rodgers will also return to face his other former team, the New York Jets, in week one of the NFL season.
