NafisaAaron Rodgers didn’t explicitly state he’s joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, but if you’re a Steelers supporter, you’re likely safe to begin preparing for the arrival of the future Hall of Fame quarterback in the 2025 campaign.
Rodgers was questioned about the possibility of ever suiting up for the Chicago Bears at a recent appearance, and his reply to the inquiry strongly hinted at what his plans are for 2025.
Aaron Rodgers subtly signals his intent to suit up for Steelers in 2025:
The Steelers acquiring Aaron Rodgers this offseason appears to be the only scenario that would truly justify their moves so far.
Pittsburgh unexpectedly bypassed quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft despite numerous reports linking them to prospects like Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart as early as Round 1.
Though they picked Will Howard on Day 3, the choice to overlook someone like Sanders — even as he slid significantly — suggested that the franchise already had a strategy mapped out.
But why not draft Sanders as a fallback option?
Aaron Rodgers turned out to be a major disappointment for the New York Jets in terms of overall team performance.
Even though the Jets underachieved as an organization over the past couple of seasons, Rodgers actually performed relatively well during the 2024 campaign, which has reignited belief that he might guide a squad as talented as Pittsburgh’s to greater postseason success than someone like Russell Wilson achieved last year.
Rodgers is currently positioned much closer to the upper tier of NFL quarterbacks compared to Wilson, and the Steelers made a notable improvement at wideout this offseason, completing a trade for DK Metcalf.
While Rodgers won’t be linking back up with Davante Adams in Pittsburgh, it may still be a perfect setup for him. The Steelers are likely to give him the reins to run the offense his way, and he’s expected to establish swift rapport with a target like Metcalf.
It feels like it’s just a matter of time before Rodgers is donning the black and gold.
