Inside Aaron Rodgers' insane $30 million Pittsburgh mansion as he signs with Steelers for just one year
NFL vet Aaron Rodgers is finally jetting out to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have confirmed they've signed the veteran quarterback as their new starter for the 2025 NFL season.
On Thursday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that the star QB has 'informed the #Steelers he'll fly to Pittsburgh on Friday and sign before next week's minicamp, sources tell The Insiders.'
While the financial terms of the deal haven't been disclosed, it's a one-year contract, and that didn't come as a surprise to fans who've been following Rodgers' recent statements. 'I never once said I need a multi-year deal,' he told ESPN host Pat McAfee in April. 'I said I'll play for 10 [million].'

The four-time MVP, who turns 42 in December, was in the final year of his $112.5 million contract with the New York Jets before they decided to part ways following the 2024 season. With over $381 million earned in his 20-year NFL career, Rodgers is already the highest-paid player in league history, according to Over the Cap.
So it makes sense that his next move wasn't entirely about the money. But Rodgers still knows how to make a splash.
Barstool Sports reported that the QB is settling into Pittsburgh in a 'gorgeous mansion' located near Acrisure Stadium. Even though it's just a one-year deal, Rodgers dumped $30 million for the property.
Barstool Yinzers revealed that the property includes a par-3 golf course, a massive pool, a pool house, and even a fully equipped horse stable.

Rumours swirling that his girlfriend, Brittani, is a horse enthusiast, so the equestrian setup makes even more sense.
The garage has room for six cars with heated floor, in addition to cutting-edge security.

What if Matthew Stafford was a Steeler? The surprising scenario reshaping Aaron Rodgers' future
The buzz around Aaron Rodgers landing in Pittsburgh made quite a news through the NFL community—and not just for what it means on the field. As the Steelers hope to break their playoff drought dating back to 2016, speculation has already begun about the future of longtime head coach Mike Tomlin. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The question isn't just whether Rodgers can deliver wins—it's whether failure to do so could signal the end of an era in Pittsburgh. How the Rams' QB drama almost changed everything for Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers On a recent episode of Unsportsmanlike, ESPN's Evan Cohen and Super Bowl champion Chris Canty dove into that very topic, peeling back the layers of Tomlin's decision-making over the past few months. One point of discussion? Whether the Steelers missed a golden opportunity by not aggressively pursuing Matthew Stafford before the 2024 season. 'It's not like he wasn't allowed to scream and yell and say, 'Go get me Stafford,'' Cohen said, suggesting that Tomlin may have held more influence over Pittsburgh's offseason strategy than he utilized. The idea that the Rams could have been tempted by a hefty trade offer—perhaps two first-round picks and a second—wasn't out of the question. In fact, the Atlanta Falcons offered a future first-rounder to the Rams during the April draft to move up the board, proving the market for Stafford was alive and well. Had the Steelers matched that offer, there's a world in which Stafford dons black and gold this fall. But it wasn't just about trade compensation—it was about the money. According to the New York Post, the New York Giants were reportedly willing to go beyond $100 million for Stafford's services. The veteran quarterback ultimately chose to restructure with Los Angeles, buying into a more favorable Super Bowl window. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Would Pittsburgh have made a compelling enough offer? That remains a what-if scenario that might haunt Steelers fans if 2025 doesn't end in playoff success. In the midst of this speculation, some believe Aaron Rodgers now carries the weight of Tomlin's future. But NFL insider Dan Graziano doesn't see it that way. 'If Mike Tomlin is not going to be the Steelers coach anymore,' Graziano remarked, 'I think that's not going to be because of Aaron Rodgers. That would be because the organization decided it's time, or he's decided it's time, or both.' That nuance is key. Even if Rodgers doesn't lead Pittsburgh deep into the playoffs, Tomlin's legacy is still secure in many circles. Yet, as Graziano pointed out, 'if they flame out… there'll probably be some conversations.' Not because of Rodgers, but because time—and expectations—waits for no one in the NFL. As Pittsburgh navigates the high-stakes season ahead, all eyes will be on both Rodgers' arm and Tomlin's decisions. Also Read:

Turkey rallies for 2-1 win in friendly against US, which loses 3rd straight under Pochettino
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Turkey took advantage of a sloppy defense to beat the United States 2-1 in a rainy friendly on Saturday, dealing the Americans their third straight loss as Arda Güler and Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored in a 2-minute, 20-second span midway through the first half. Jack McGlynn scored 59 seconds in for the U.S., which was missing many regulars as coach Mauricio Pochettino revamped his roster following a dismal performance at the CONCACAF Nations League final four in March. With a year to go before co-hosting the World Cup, the U.S. plays Switzerland on Tuesday at Nashville, Tennessee, in another friendly, then opens the CONCACAF Gold Cup against Trinidad and Tobago on June 15. The Americans dropped to 5-4 under Pochettino, who took over after first-round elimination last year's Copa America led the U.S. Soccer Federation to fire coach Gregg Berhalter. They have lost three straight for the second time in a year. Pochettino changed eight starters from the Nations League loss to Canada in March, keeping only left back Max Arfsten, winger Diego Luna and forward Patrick Agyemang. Defender Alex Freeman, a 20-year-old son of former NFL All-Pro receiver Antonio Freeman, started in his U.S. debut. Matt Freese, a starter at Major League Soccer's New York City, made his debut in goal. Matt Turner, the usual starter since 2022, didn't play for Crystal Palace after March 1. McGlynn scored when he ran onto a pass from Malik Tilman, took several touches, cut inside and curled a left-footed shot from just outside the penalty area inside the far post for his second goal in five international appearances. It was the earliest U.S. goal since Shaq Moore scored 20 seconds in against Canada during the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Turkey tied it in the 24th minute when Freese tapped the ball to Johnny Cardoso, whose pass ricocheted off a leg and past Freese for Güler's fifth international goal. Then in the 27th, Miles Robinson tried to clear Oğuz Aydın's shot and the ball went to Aktürkoğlu, who one-timed a bouncing shot past Freese for his 12th international goal and sixth in eight games. Turkey goalkeeper Berke Özer also made his international debut. Preparing for the start of its World Cup qualifying campaign in September, Turkey has six wins, one loss and one draw in its last eight games. soccer: /hub/soccer
