Aaron Rodgers is finally making a move.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Rodgers has told the Pittsburgh Steelers that he plans to sign with the team before next week’s minicamp.
The 41-year-old quarterback is about to start his 21st NFL season with his third team. This decision ends a long offseason filled with speculation. Fans have been wondering if Rodgers would retire or continue his career with a new team.
Earlier this year, rumors linked Rodgers to the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings. However, it now looks like the Steelers have won the race for his signature.
Rodgers struggled in his last season with the New York Jets. His two years there ended on a sour note. Now, he will join a team led by coach Mike Tomlin. Tomlin is known for not tolerating drama, which followed Rodgers during his time in New York.
Most NFL fans seem relieved that the Rodgers saga is over. Many also made jokes about the veteran finally settling in Pittsburgh.
