Steelers quickly settle any Aaron Rodgers jersey number mystery after signing
Aaron Rodgers has already found his jersey number with the Steelers. Rodgers, 41, is set to wear No. 8 next season with Pittsburgh, the team shared in a social media post. The number previously belonged to Steelers punter Corliss Waitman, who will now switch to No. 3 for the upcoming season, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Advertisement Rodgers previously wore No. 8 during his two seasons with the Jets after wearing No. 12 for 18 years in Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers throws a pass for a touchdown during the first half at Metlife Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2024, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Rodgers, who initially agreed to sign with the Steelers on Thursday, finalized the contract Saturday, with both parties agreeing on a one-year deal worth $13.65 million, according to multiple reports. Advertisement The contract, which includes $10 million of guaranteed money, also has performance incentives that could potentially raise the amount to $19.5 million. Rodgers' signing ultimately ends a monthslong free agency saga following his departure from the Jets in February. Rodgers played in just 18 games with the Jets across two seasons after the 10-time Pro-Bowler suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during his first game with the team in 2023. Tensions were apparently high between Rodgers and Jets management amid his departure from the team, with new head coach Aaron Glenn not showing 'ample respect' during the pair's final meeting, according to the four-time MVP.

Bill Kostroun/New York Post During an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show' in April, Rodgers said the conversation between him and Glenn was short, with new head coach 'running out of the room' to get general manager Darren Mougey. 'That was kind of strange,' Rodgers said at the time. 'I think we are going to have this long conversation. I've flown across the country, and 20 seconds in he goes and he leans to the edge of his seat and says, 'So, you want to play football?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm interested.' And he was like, 'We're going in a different direction at quarterback.' 'I was kind of shocked. Not shocked because I didn't think it was a possibility, but shocked because I just flew across the country and you could've told me this over the phone.'

Aaron Rodgers officially signs one-year contract with Steelers worth over $13 million: report
Aaron Rodgers is officially headed to Pittsburgh next season. The four-time league MVP officially signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday and will address the media on Tuesday for the first time following the team's first minicamp practice, the Steelers' senior director of communications Burt Lauten announced on X. Rodgers, 41, signed a one-year deal worth up to $19.5 million with incentives, which includes a $10 million guarantee, ESPN reported, citing sources. The news, first reported on Wednesday, ended months of speculation as to whether Rodgers would return for another NFL season or enter retirement after a failed two-year stint with the New York Jets. Rodgers addressed the rumors about his decision and his time with the Jets, during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" in April. He said he had spoken to several teams, including New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll and Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell, whom he is in regular contact with. "I'm open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility, but right now my focus is and has been and will continue to be on my personal life … there's still conversations that are being had." Ultimately, the veteran NFL quarterback decided Pittsburgh would be where he would play his 21st season. Rodgers' arrival solves the Steelers' quarterback problems – at least for now – after Russell Wilson and Justin Fields both signed with New York Teams. Now Rodgers will battle Mason Rudolph, who signed a two-year contract in March, for the starting position.
