Aaron Rodgers has finally completed his long-delayed move to the Pittsburgh Steelers, signing a one-year deal. He’ll debut in black and gold at this week’s mandatory minicamp.

Following the announcement, the Steelers’ odds to win Super Bowl 60 jumped from +20000 to +4000. Their AFC title odds were halved, moving from +4000 to +2000.

However, the Steelers' win total (Over 8.5 +110) and AFC North odds (+550) remained unchanged at DraftKings — a sign that sportsbooks had already priced in the possibility.

Rodgers and the Steelers will be featured in seven nationally televised games this season — including high-profile matchups against the Packers and Dolphins. Here’s the current slate:

Rodgers will face the New York Jets — his former team — in Week 1. After being injured four plays into the 2023 season, he returned in 2024, throwing for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns, but finished with a modest 90.5 passer rating and a QBR of 48. The Jets went 5-12 and fired both their coach and GM.

Week 8 marks another grudge match as Rodgers takes on the Green Bay Packers — his former team for 18 seasons — in Pittsburgh.

What Rodgers Brings to Pittsburgh

This will be Rodgers’ 21st NFL season. His 2023 campaign ended early due to injury. He returned in 2024 but couldn’t salvage a weak Jets team. While his stats were solid — 3,897 yards, 28 TDs, 11 INTs — he finished in the bottom quartile of QBs in QBR (48) and passer rating (90.5).

Pittsburgh gives Rodgers something New York didn’t: stability. He’ll have a top-tier defense, a competent offensive line, and a reliable running game. At 41, that might be all he needs.
