Aaron Rodgers says decision to sign with Steelers 'was best for my soul'
Our Summary
In June, Aaron Rodgers joined the Pittsburgh Steelers by signing a one-year, $13.6 million contract, a decision influenced by his respect for Coach Mike Tomlin. Rodgers praised Tomlin and expressed excitement about playing for such a historic franchise, highlighting his connection with teammates like DK Metcalf and new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Despite a challenging past with the Jets and the end of his marriage, Rodgers feels rejuvenated and ready for this new chapter. With Rodgers’ experience and leadership, the Steelers aim to strengthen their quarterback lineup, addressing gaps left by former cycles of quarterbacks.
