Steelers sign Aaron Rodgers to one-year, $13.6 million deal; QB to wear No. 8, address media Tuesday

Our Summary

Aaron Rodgers has officially signed a one-year, $13.6 million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, with $10 million guaranteed and potential incentives bringing the total up to $19.5 million. After passing his physical, Rodgers will wear No. 8, as he did with the Jets. This ends a protracted free agency process, as the four-time MVP, with significant career stats, joins his third NFL team. The Steelers had patiently awaited his decision, contrasting with other teams that filled quarterback positions early. Rodgers is expected to address the media about his decision during Pittsburgh's minicamp.
