Schrager: Steelers Signed Aaron Rodgers With Belief They Can ‘Get Over The Hump’

The pursuit of QB Aaron Rodgers is over. The Pittsburgh Steelers have their starting quarterback for the 2025 NFL season under contract. He’s already shown his arm strength throughout mandatory minicamp. And that’s a good sign for the 41 year old.

But there are still plenty of questions to be answered about the Steelers and Rodgers. Namely, why did they pursue Aaron Rodgers? His New York Jets tenure was a disappointment. And his final year with the Green Bay Packers wasn’t much better. So why would the Steelers decide that Rodgers is the answer?

They must believe Aaron Rodgers can still play quarterback at a high level.
