Aaron Rodgers has quickly become a hot name around the NFL as free agency starts to kick off. We have seen numerous teams reportedly interested in the four-time MVP quarterback.
However, one new team is emerging in a pretty significant way.

In the wake of trading for a star wide receiver, the Pittsburgh Steelers may be ready to close in on a big-name quarterback. According to a source at ESPN:
As the Steelers continue talks with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields entering this week’s free agency period, Aaron Rodgers also has emerged as a quarterback option for Pittsburgh, league sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Rodgers and the Steelers are expected to talk, sources told Schefter, and explore a union between the four-time MVP and longtime coach Mike Tomlin.
Rodgers, 41, is set to be a free agent after the New York Jets announced last month that they would be moving on from the 10-time Pro Bowler after two disappointing seasons. Jets general manager Darren Mougey said last month that the Jets likely will designate Rodgers as a post-June 1 release.
Despite the Jets’ 5-12 finish in 2024, Rodgers passed for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns. He was 25th in QBR, 30th in completion percentage and 28th in yards per attempt among qualified passers, but could provide quarterback-needy teams like Pittsburgh with an established veteran.
