With the Steelers, Rodgers is also set to reunite with his former Packers HC Mike McCarthy. They spent 13 seasons together.
Rodgers led the Steelers to a 10-6 record and a playoff berth last season while throwing for 24 touchdowns against just six interceptions. At the age of 42, Rodgers managed to start 16 games last year. With Pittsburgh very clearly operating in a win-now mode, the organization will now expect the veteran to lead them back to the playoffs and also help them finally end their nine-year drought without a playoff victory.
Told you all that AR is in Pgh. He never left. I’d expect a press release from the Steelers this weekend or EARLY Monday morning that AR is signed. OTA’s start Monday morning over on the South Side. #Steelers #NFL https://t.co/4szw6v3p2L
