Aaron Rodgers has decided to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026 and is expected to sign a one-year deal worth up to $25 million, ESPN reported on Saturday night.
According to ESPN, he will receive about $22 million to $23 million in base salary with incentives that would push the total to $25 million.
Rodgers is expected to be in attendance on Monday at Pittsburgh's OTA session, according to the report.
Rodgers, 42, has been in Pittsburgh recently and there has been an assumption for most of the offseason that he would eventually choose to return to the Steelers.
The fact that Pittsburgh hired Mike McCarthy as coach was viewed as a significant factor. Rodgers was McCarthy's quarterback when the latter coached the Green Bay Packers from 2006-18. Rodgers quarterbacked the Packers to the 2010 season Super Bowl title.
The four-time MVP will be entering his 21st NFL season. He's a 10-time Pro Bowl selection.
Rodgers was Pittsburgh's quarterback last season and completed 65.7% of his attempts for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Rodgers ranks fifth in NFL history with 66,274 passing yards and fourth with 527 touchdowns passes. He has thrown just 123 interceptions and his 1.4 interception rate is the best in NFL history.
Rodgers played 18 seasons with Packers and two with the New York Jets in addition to last season with the Steelers.
The other players in Pittsburgh's quarterback room are journeyman Mason Rudolph, second-year pro Will Howard and 2026 third-round pick Drew Allar.
