In a shocking turn of events, the Pittsburgh Steelers have officially secured legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a massive $234 million deal—but not as a starter. Instead, the four-time MVP will serve as a backup QB, a move that has left NFL fans and analysts stunned.

Rodgers, who recently entered free agency, was expected to land a starting role elsewhere, but the Steelers saw an opportunity to bring in one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time to mentor their younger QBs and provide crucial depth. Despite the eye-watering contract, the Steelers’ management believes that having Rodgers as an insurance policy will significantly boost their Super Bowl aspirations.

While some fans are celebrating the move, others are questioning whether paying $234 million for a backup role is the best use of the team’s salary cap. However, insiders report that Rodgers was fully aware of his role before signing, and he’s committed to helping Pittsburgh win another championship before hanging up his cleats.

With Russell Wilson and Justin Fields still in the picture, the Steelers’ QB room just got even more intriguing. The big question remains—will Rodgers stay in the background, or will he eventually push his way into the starting lineup? One thing is for sure: the 2025 NFL season just got a whole lot more interesting.
