Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is visiting with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
A deal with the four-time NFL Most Valuable Player “could be forthcoming”, per the report. The New York Jets released Rodgers on 12 March, making him a free agent for the first time in his career.
The only quarterbacks on the Steelers’ current roster are Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson. Russell Wilson, who led Pittsburgh to the playoffs last season, is a free agent but could return.
Wilson, like Rodgers, has also been linked with the New York Giants this week, according to reports. Justin Fields, who was backup to Wilson at Heinz Field last season, joined the Jets as a free agent on Friday.
Rodgers, 41, reportedly was mulling offers from the Steelers and Giants after the Minnesota Vikings withdrew from contention earlier this week, per multiple reports. He passed for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2024, returning from a season-ending Achilles injury suffered in his first game with the Jets in September 2023.
The 10-time Pro Bowl selection ranks fifth in league history in touchdown passes (503) and seventh in passing yards (62,952).
