He\u2019s back. <\/p>\n
Per multiple reports, the Steelers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have agreed to terms on a one-year deal.<\/p>\n
The move comes two days before the first of the Steelers\u2019 2026 OTA sessions. They\u2019re voluntary; Rodgers isn\u2019t required to attend. The annual mandatory minicamp is next month.<\/p>\n
The agreement caps months of speculation regarding whether Rodgers will play again in 2026 and, if so, where. Nearly three weeks ago, the Steelers upped the ante by using the unrestricted free agent tender, aimed both at ensuring compensatory draft-pick consideration if Rodgers signs elsewhere \u2014 and at giving the Steelers exclusive negotiating rights if he didn\u2019t sign with anyone by July 22.<\/p>\n
Now, it\u2019s moot.<\/p>\n
The next question becomes the value of the deal. Last year, Rodgers gave the Steelers a bargain, with a base package of only $13.65 million. (He added $500,000 by the Steelers making the playoffs.)<\/p>\n
Either way, a deal is in place. Rodgers is back. Which is good for the Steelers. It\u2019s unclear what they\u2019ll be with him. They likely would have been screwed without him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He\u2019s back.
