Insider reveals Steelers, Aaron Rodgers' salary ceiling: 'Money was never the issue'
Insider reveals Steelers, Aaron Rodgers' salary ceiling: 'Money was never the issue' Aaron Rodgers is heading to the Pittsburgh Steelers — but contract details still remain a blur. It has been confirmed that, pending a physical, the four-time MVP will sign a one-year contract with the Steelers — and insider Gerry Dulac hinted at what the maximum amount could be. Responding to rumors that the Rodgers-to-Pittsburgh delay occurred due to financial disagreements, Dulac explained what really took place — and what Rodgers would play for in 2025: "Money was NEVER the issue in deal with Aaron Rodgers. It was always a one-year offer for less than $20 million." Previously on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers also set the record straight that he didn't care about the money — claiming he'd play for "$10m." The last time Rodgers made anywhere near $10 million to $20 million annually was during the first two contract extensions he signed with the Packers back in the 2010s.

Ex-Steelers WR Antonio Brown claims Aaron Rodgers tried recruiting him back to Pittsburgh
Ex-Steelers WR Antonio Brown claims Aaron Rodgers tried recruiting him back to Pittsburgh The Aaron Rodgers-to-Pittsburgh news set the NFL world ablaze — but former Steelers WR Antonio Brown revealed he tried to bring him along for the ride. According to MLFootball, Brown reached out and reported that Rodgers had tried recruiting him to Pittsburgh in February — seemingly confirming that the four-time MVP had plans all along to sign with the Steelers. MLFootball is hardly Adam Schefter, but Brown didn't dispute the report — in fact, he retweeted the claim, as seen below: Brown is actually just three years older than 33-year-old WR Robert Woods, who was signed by the Steelers last month. Still, his attitude and off-the-field antics led the Steelers to part ways for a reason. Back in March, Brown attempted to confirm the Rodgers-to-Pittsburgh signing early — but not many took the wideout seriously. Could Rodgers have genuinely tried to recruit Brown back to Pittsburgh, or is this simply AB being AB on social media?

Ben Roethlisberger believes Aaron Rodgers hasn't signed with Steelers for one big reason
Not everyone is buying the Aaron Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers hype just yet—even with his recent UCLA throwing session with DK Metcalf. Although Steelers President Art Rooney II remained optimistic that the four-time MVP would make his way to the Steel City, the legendary Ben Roethlisberger argued that Rodgers may be prolonging the signing for one massive reason—a potential opening with the Minnesota Vikings. Advertisement The future Hall of Fame Steelers quarterback elaborated on the never-ending Rodgers-to-Pittsburgh rumors on his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger: "I think Aaron [Rodgers] is secretly still holding out for Minnesota—which is why he hasn't signed with the Steelers. Why else would you go throw with DK and working out, and blast it to everybody that 'I'm throwing to these guys,' but you won't sign?" He further added that Rodgers may see the Minnesota Vikings as a more complete team—a perfect scenario for the 41-year-old QB chasing his second Super Bowl ring. Is Rodgers truly holding onto the hope that the Vikings could secretly want his services in 2025, or is it truly the upcoming Big Night AHT on April 9th with Pat McAfee that's to blame for the delay?
