Four-time NFL Most Valuable Player Aaron Rodgers has told the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers he will sign a one-year deal and participate in next week's mini-camp, according to multiple reports Thursday.

The Steelers lacked a veteran signal caller after Russell Wilson was signed by the New York Giants, but in Rodgers have landed a future Hall of Fame quarterback with 62,952 career passing yards and 503 career touchdown passes.
Pittsburgh will offer Rodgers a chance to face his former clubs with a season opener on September 7 at the Jets and an October 26 home game against the Green Bay Packers, with whom Rodgers won the 2011 Super Bowl by beating the Steelers 31-25.
In a 20-year career, Rodgers won MVP honors in 2011, 2014, 2020 and 2021 with the Packers.
Last season, Rodgers completed 368 of 584 passes for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns with 11 interceptions.
