Aaron Rodgers has been a major part of the NFL offseason discourse as it took a long time for him to reach a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he finally got it done a couple of weeks ago. Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Steelers, and it sounds like this is going to be his final year playing football.

“I'm pretty sure this is it,” Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show. “That's why we just did a one-year deal. Steelers didn't need to, you know, put any extra years on that or anything. So, this was really about finishing with a lot of love and fun and peace for the career that I've had. I've played twenty freaking years. It's been long a long run, I've enjoyed it, and what better place to finish than in one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL, with Mike Tomlin and a great group of leadership and great guys in the city that, you know, expects you to win.”

Well, it sounds like this is the end of the road for Aaron Rodgers, and what a career it has been. Rodgers is one of the best to ever to do it, and he is hoping to go out on a high note after a couple of troublesome seasons with the New York Jets. Rodgers obviously missed almost the entirety of the 2023 season due to an injury, and then he was never able to gel with his new team last year.
