Aaron Rodgers Officially Joins the Pittsburgh Steelers

Aaron Rodgers is officially a player for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The team posted a photo of Rodgers signing his contract on Saturday, accompanied by the message “deal done”.

The experienced quarterback signed a one-year, $13.65 million contract after passing a physical at the team’s facility on Saturday morning. The agreement includes $10 million guaranteed and could reach $19.5 million with incentives.
Rodgers, 41, arrived at the training facility shortly after 8 a.m., two days after agreeing to terms with the Steelers following a lengthy period of negotiations. He was greeted by General Manager Omar Khan at the door. Rodgers is expected to be present at the team’s mandatory minicamp, which begins on Tuesday.

In late March, Rodgers held a private throwing session in California with the Steelers’ new wide receiver, DK Metcalf, whom Pittsburgh acquired in a trade with the Seahawks on the eve of free agency.

The agreement with Pittsburgh sets up a Week 1 matchup between Rodgers and his most recent former team, the New York Jets, who will host the Steelers in their season opener.

Rodgers was released by the Jets in March, a month after what he later described as a contentious meeting with new coach Aaron Glenn and new general manager Darren Mougey.
