Overview

  • Rodgers signed a one-year, $13.65 million deal with performance incentives aligned to team success and postseason goals.
  • On July 2 he announced 2025 will be his final NFL season as he balances starting duties with mentoring Pittsburgh’s young quarterbacks.
  • Hall of Famer Bill Cowher recommends granting Rodgers full offensive autonomy while capping his average pass attempts to keep him fresh for critical moments.
  • Cowher advises a balanced attack that deploys Rodgers primarily at the end of halves and in late-game situations to leverage his playoff experience.
  • Rodgers has embraced a quiet leadership style, studying privately, asking questions off to the side and avoiding disruptions in the quarterback room.
