Aaron Rodgers plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, ending months of uncertainty around his future and uniting the future Hall of Famer with a team that desperately needs a quarterback.
Rodgers, who has been a free agent since his split with the New York Jets earlier this offseason, plans to fly to Pittsburgh this week and participate in the Steelers mandatory minicamp next week, sources told Schefter.
Rodgers has been linked with the Steelers throughout the offseason, especially after Pittsburgh opted to let Russell Wilson and Justin Fields leave as free agents. The Steelers also did not use a high draft pick on a quarterback and were set to enter their mandatory offseason program with Mason Rudolph as their starter.
The deal would set up a Week 1 rematch between Rodgers and the Jets, who will host the Steelers in their season opener.
