Aaron Rodgers signs with Steelers: Can the 41-year-old revive Pittsburgh’s offense?

Aaron Rodgers, the 41-year-old Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer, has signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, aiming to rejuvenate their struggling offense.

Rodgers, who parted ways with the New York Jets earlier this year after two difficult seasons, is expected to start for the Steelers in 2025. Despite a challenging 2024 season with career lows in several categories, Rodgers still boasts impressive career stats, including 62,952 passing yards, 503 touchdown passes, and an all-time record 102.6 passer rating among qualified passers.

"Rodgers plans to sign with the Steelers," NFL insider Ian Rapoport confirmed on June 5, highlighting the end of months of uncertainty about the quarterback's future.

The Steelers, who did not draft a quarterback in April and struggled with offensive consistency last season, see Rodgers as a key piece to elevate their offense. Pittsburgh ranked 10th in EPA per play in 2024 but aims for a higher ceiling with Rodgers under center.

Rodgers' recent performance with the Jets included 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 2024, despite a 5-12 record and an Achilles injury early in the season. He described his Jets tenure as "the best two years of my life," showing optimism despite setbacks.

At nearly 42 years old, Rodgers brings veteran leadership and a proven track record to a Steelers team eager to revamp its offense and compete at a higher level in the upcoming NFL season.
