Overview

• Rodgers agreed on June 5 to join Pittsburgh after months of talks that began with his March 12 release by the Jets and a March 21 visit to the Steelers’ facility, setting up his participation in minicamp June 10–12.
• The one-year deal is projected at $10 million to $20 million and is expected to be finalized ahead of Pittsburgh’s mandatory offseason practice.
• At 41 years old, Rodgers weighed retirement, fielded interest from other franchises and addressed personal commitments before opting to continue his career in Pittsburgh.
• The Steelers strengthened their receiving corps earlier this offseason by acquiring DK Metcalf and have cycled through multiple quarterbacks since Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement in search of longer-term stability.
• Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino praised Rodgers’ remaining arm talent but cautioned that the veteran’s mental engagement will determine his impact on the team.
