Steelers close to signing Aaron Rodgers for 2025

The Pittsburgh Steelers are close to signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the 2025 season. Reports suggest that Rodgers, recently released by the Jets, may choose the Steelers over the Giants or retirement. Steelers' insider Mike Florio believes this move is likely. The team hosted Rodgers for a six-hour visit on Friday, emphasizing how important this meeting was. They even skipped attending a key college event to prioritize it. While there is uncertainty about when Rodgers will sign a contract, the Steelers seem willing to wait. They are in the process of replacing Russell Wilson and Justin Fields at quarterback. Fields is now starting for the Jets, and Wilson remains a free agent. If Rodgers joins the Steelers, he will face his former team, the Green Bay Packers, in a home game during the 2025 season. This matchup would be significant for him, as it is his first since leaving the team where he started his NFL career.
