After a storied 17‑year career that saw Aaron Rodgers become one of the NFL’s most celebrated quarterbacks, the 42‑year‑old announced that he will retire after a single season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
A Final Season in the Making
On May 16, Rodgers inked a one‑year contract with the Steelers worth up to $25 million, a deal that would give him the chance to finish his career in a city that has long been a favorite of his. The announcement came after a brief period of uncertainty, but the former Green Bay Packers star has made it clear that this is the last chapter of his playing days. He told reporters on May 20 that the decision was final: “Yes. This is it,” he said, a statement that resonated with fans who have followed his journey from a rookie in 2005 to a four‑time NFL MVP.
The Decision to Come Back
Rodgers admitted that he was initially unsure whether he would return to the NFL. He cited “some doubt” about the idea of playing again, especially after a season of rest and recovery.
