The agreement includes $ 10 million guaranteed and can be worth up to $ 19.5 million with incentives. The final contract complies with what Rodgers said “The Pat McAfee Show” for which this offseason would play in an early interview.
“This is not money,” he said in April. “I will play for 10 m.”
Rodgers, 41, arrived at the training center just after 8 am two days after accepting the conditions with the Steelers following an extended nuptial parade and was greeted by the director general Omar Khan at the door.
Rodgers is expected to be a compulsory minicamp team, which is starting on Tuesday.
At the end of March, Rodgers held a private launch session in California with a new wide receiver of the Steelers DK Metcalfthat Pittsburgh acquired in a business with the Seahawks on the eve of the Free Agency.
The agreement with Pittsburgh sets up a confrontation of week 1 between Rodgers and its former team, the New York JetsWho will welcome the Steelers in their first season game.
Rodgers was published by the Jets in March, a month after what he described later as a controversial meeting with the new coach Aaron Glenn and the new director general Darren Mougey.
Rodgers joined New York in 2023 after 18 seasons with the Green bay packersWhere he won a Super Bowl after the 2010 season. After missing almost all his first season with the jets due to a torn Achilles suffered during his beginnings, Rodgers began each match last season, but his overall performance was uneven. He passed for 3,897 yards and 28 affected – both thirds on the list of jet records in a single season – but he also had 11 interceptions and finished with a 48.1 QBR, 25th out of 32 qualified passers -by in the NFL.
The news of the Rodgers-Steelers agreement has improved the Pittsburgh ratings on the betting market. The chances of the Steelers to win AFC North went from +550 to +500 on ESPN BET Thursday, and their chances of passing the playoffs went from +150 to +140.
The Steelers also moved to a 3 -point favorite at ESPN Bet in their first season game against the jets after being favored by 2.5 before the Rodgers News.
