Aaron Rodgers has apparently decided on his future. He is expected to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the coming days.

Aaron Rodgers will likely continue his NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, as expected.

According to reports from NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, among others, the 41-year-old has informed the Ohio franchise that he will sign his contract before the franchise’s minicamp next week.

According to these reports, Rodgers will sign a one-year contract in Pittsburgh. Interestingly, the Steelers will face Rodgers’ former team, the New York Jets, in their first week of the season, meaning the superstar will make a quick return to his old stomping ground.

NFL: Months-long odyssey with the Steelers comes to an end

This brings an odyssey lasting several months to an end. Since the start of the offseason in March, Pittsburgh had been considered the most likely destination for the four-time MVP if he wanted to continue his career.

The Steelers’ personnel policy was also geared toward signing Rodgers, with the franchise failing to acquire a starter-caliber quarterback in either free agency or the draft.

However, Rodgers’ decision was delayed, and at one point it seemed conceivable that the Steelers could engineer a trade for Kirk Cousins from the Atlanta Falcons.

Aaron Rodgers disappointed with the Jets

Rodgers spent a total of two years with the Jets but failed to fulfill the hopes of fans and the entire franchise for success.

He missed virtually his entire first season due to a torn Achilles tendon, and in his second season, the Jets clearly missed the playoffs and struggled with numerous internal squabbles. After the hiring of a new coaching staff led by Aaron Glenn, Rodgers was released by the Jets.

In Pittsburgh, Rodgers will join an offense that includes newcomer D.K. Metcalf but will be without George Pickens, who was traded to the Dallas Cowboys. Under offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, however, the focus is likely to be more on the running game anyway.
