**Aaron Rodgers Signs with Pittsburgh Steelers for 2025 Season**

Veteran NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers has officially joined the Pittsburgh Steelers as their new starting QB for the 2025 season. This comes after the Steelers confirmed the signing on Thursday. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that Rodgers conveyed his decision to fly to Pittsburgh on Friday and finalize the contract ahead of next week's minicamp.

Though the financial details have not been fully divulged, the arrangement is noted as a one-year deal. This isn't surprising, considering Rodgers' previous statements about not needing a multi-year commitment. In an April conversation with ESPN host Pat McAfee, Rodgers remarked, "I never once said I need a multi-year deal," and emphasized his willingness to play for $10 million.

Rodgers, a four-time MVP, will turn 42 this December and was in the last year of a $112.5 million contract with the New York Jets before their parting ways after the 2024 season. With career earnings surpassing $381 million, Rodgers is recognized as the highest-paid player in NFL history, according to Over the Cap.

Although his next career move isn’t entirely focused on financial aspects, Rodgers has made a significant lifestyle choice with his relocation. Barstool Sports reported that he purchased a $30 million mansion in Pittsburgh's vicinity, near Acrisure Stadium. The luxurious property includes premium amenities like a par-3 golf course, a massive pool with a pool house, and a fully equipped horse stable. This setup aligns well with the interests of Rodgers’ girlfriend, Brittani, who is an avid horse enthusiast.

Rodgers' arrival in Pittsburgh has already generated a buzz among fans and commentators alike. Despite some skepticism and light-hearted jabs, it's clear that the seasoned quarterback is prepared to make an impact both on and off the field for the Steelers in the upcoming season.
