The Chicago Bears will get another chance to slay their nemesis, long-time Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The news was first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Rodgers, 41, will fly to Pittsburgh on Friday and sign before the team’s minicamp next week, according to Pelissero. It’s a move that’s been long anticipated, and now the Steelers will lock down their quarterback heading into the final portion of their offseason program.

The Bears will host the Steelers at Soldier Field on Nov. 23 in Week 12, where quarterback Caleb Williams will now get a chance to face off against his childhood idol. And Chicago will get another opportunity to slay the dragon that is Rodgers.
Rodgers is 26-5 against the Bears during his career (including the postseason), where he’s only ever faced Chicago during his 18-year career with Green Bay. Now, the Bears will have a chance to rewrite that narrative with head coach Ben Johnson leading the charge.
Rodgers will also get a chance to face his former teams in 2025, as the Steelers open the season against the New York Jets (with Justin Fields at quarterback) and host the Packers on Sunday Night Football in Week 8.
