Aaron Rodgers is searching for his next and perhaps final NFL stop, and this latest update all but guarantees his team for the 2025 season.
It has been trending for quite some time that Aaron Rodgers is likely signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and this latest update seems to just about guarantee that:
BREAKING: Art Rooney II said he has a good feeling about Aaron Rodgers and the signs are “pointing in that direction” of him signing with Steelers.

Rodgers is 41 years old and was traded from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets before the 2023 NFL Season.
He tore his Achilles just a handful of plays into the season and was able to come back for all 17 games in 2024, tossing 28 touchdowns for the Jets. However, New York was thoroughly awful and decided to move on from Rodgers and former Packers great Davante Adams.
Well, Adams signed with the Los Angeles Rams, but Aaron Rodgers is still without a team. This update from Gerry Dulac from the mouth of Art Rooney II seems to indicate that Rodgers is going to be a Steeler.
Aaron Rodgers seems destined to wear the Black and Gold
I would be shocked if every single Packers fan wasn't at least somewhat interested in where the former great signed. He won four MVPs with the Packers and also helped defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.
Well, to make matters even more interesting, the Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting the Green Bay Packers in the 2025 NFL Season, so there is a legitimate shot that Rodgers would get to play his old team on the Steelers. Pittsburgh made a huge move this offseason when they traded for DK Metcalf, formerly of the Seattle Seahawks, and we know that Rodgers and Metcalf actually had a throwing session together last weekend.
It does feel like an 'open house' situation for Rodgers - he seems to be seeing how structually sound the house is and is about to put a healthy bid on it, but in Rodgers' case, this may also be his only starting shot left in the NFL. He'll turn 42 years old near the end of the 2025 NFL Season, so some have also wondered if the 2025 year would be his last in the NFL as well.
I am sure Aaron Rodgers wants to go out with at least one more playoff appearance, but he is a declining player, and the Pittsburgh Steelers can't accomplish anything substantive on offense when they keep trotting out new faces at quarterback.
