“I’m Pretty Sure This Is It”

During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Aaron Rodgers was clear: “I’m pretty sure this is it,” he said about what will be his final campaign in the NFL. The 41-year-old veteran stated that he chose to sign for just one season with the Steelers because he believes Pittsburgh is the perfect place to close out a historic career.

Rodgers expressed his excitement to play under Mike Tomlin and acknowledged the weight of the franchise's legacy. He also mentioned that he didn’t want to drag out a decision he had been considering for some time: “It was time to be honest with myself and everyone else,” he added.

A Farewell to a Legendary Career

With over two decades in the league, Aaron Rodgers leaves an indelible mark. He was named NFL MVP four times, won Super Bowl XLV, and was also that game’s MVP with the Green Bay Packers, the team where he built the majority of his legacy. After a short and unfortunate stint with the New York Jets, the quarterback chose to end his journey with one last shot in Pittsburgh.

His arrival in Pittsburgh was seen as a bold move by the organization, hoping to benefit from the leadership and experience of one of the most talented quarterbacks in recent memory. Although the pressure will be high, Rodgers said he is ready to enjoy every game as if it were his last.

Aaron Rodgers will begin his final NFL season this fall with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 2025 campaign will mark the end of an era for one of the greatest names the sport has ever seen.
