Aaron Rodgers, 41, Prepares To Sign Great Deal With Pittsburgh Steelers Ahead Of Minicamp

Aaron Rodgers, the former quarterback of the New York Jets, will attend minicamp with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He will team with recent trade acquisition DK Metcalf to make a formidable passing game. The 41-year-old quarterback is looking for a championship to finish his career. 

However, championships in the National Football League are about rushing and defense. Defensively, the Pittsburgh Steelers are strong, but the running game in Pittsburgh leaves something to be desired. Do you think the Pittsburgh Steelers will win the Super Bowl?

Aaron Rodgers’ Career Statistics

Rodgers is one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in NFL history. He is 41 years old. In that time, Rodgers has compiled some outstanding numbers. He accomplished the most things during his 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers. There, he threw for a little more than 59,000 yards and 475 touchdowns. In Green Bay, Rodgers won one Super Bowl.

Most recently, the aged quarterback spent two seasons with the New York Jets. In his first, disastrous, season with the Jets, Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon on the fourth play of the season. The Jets were going for a Super Bowl win with Rodgers but played that entire first season without him. In his second season, Rodgers came back and played, to his credit, but was generally bad. The Jets only won 5 games.

This poor output was despite the Jets signing Davante Adams, a wide receiver who teamed successfully with Rodgers in Green Bay. That did not work. Rodgers did surpass 500 passing touchdowns and 60,000 passing yards with the New York Jets. That was little consolation to the beleaguered fans of the Jets.

The Situation

According to multiple sources today, Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He will participate in the Steelers’ minicamp after a very long courtship. The Steelers hope that his presence will be an upgrade from last year, where Russell Wilson and Justin Fields split the starting quarterback role. Wilson and Fields are now in New York with the Giants and Jets, respectively. The Fields thing, in particular an odd twist of events, as the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers have essentially swapped quarterbacks.

Conclusion

It is unclear which quarterback the Pittsburgh Steelers are getting. The great quarterback, who played in Green Bay, or the one from the Jets. Nobody knows, but he is 41 years old, and his skills have diminished. He has some nice wide receiving targets in Pittsburgh, but that may not matter much. Steelers fans hope he does not get hurt early in the season like he did for the Jets. This will likely be the last season for the star, but one never knows with him.
