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:

Week Opponent Spread Time (ET) TV
4Vikings (Dublin)+1.59:30 a.m.NFL Network
7@ Bengals+4.58:15 p.m.Amazon Prime
8Green Bay+1.58:20 p.m.NBC
10@ LA Chargers+4.58:20 p.m.NBC
13Buffalo+4.54:25 p.m.CBS
15Miami-2.58:15 p.m.ESPN
16@ Detroit+64:25 p.m.CBS

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.

Only Week 1 moved after the Rodgers signing — from -2.5 to -3 against the Jets. Pittsburgh remains an underdog in 11 of 17 games.


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.
