Overview

  • Rodgers cited personal family responsibilities for delaying his decision, prompting Pittsburgh to keep Mason Rudolph as a contingency plan.
  • Coach Mike Tomlin and president Art Rooney II maintained ongoing dialogue to secure Rodgers’s commitment.
  • The agreement guarantees Rodgers’s salary only for the upcoming season, giving the Steelers roster flexibility beyond 2025.
  • Rodgers is set to participate in mandatory minicamp next week, marking his first on-field work with Pittsburgh’s offense.
  • Pittsburgh plans to pursue veteran wide receivers to expand Rodgers’s target options before training camp begins.
