Overview

  • Rodgers informed the Steelers he would fly to Pittsburgh Friday to finalize his one-year contract valued at $20 million.
  • The four-time NFL MVP is expected to attend Pittsburgh’s minicamp and assume the starting quarterback role over Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Skylar Thompson.
  • Pittsburgh pursued Rodgers after losing Justin Fields and Russell Wilson in free agency and selecting only a late-round quarterback in the draft.
  • Rodgers weighed offers from the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings before choosing the Steelers, sources say.
  • Sportsbooks adjusted Pittsburgh’s Super Bowl odds from +600 to +500 following the signing, reflecting improved playoff prospects.
