Aaron Rodgers has emerged from NFL free-agent darkness \u2014 although he may have just been waiting for organized team activities to end.<\/p>\n

After being released by the New York Jets<\/a> in March, Rodgers will sign a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Steelers<\/a>‘ last day of OTAs was June 5. Rodgers was in Egypt during the Jets’ OTAs last year.<\/p>\n

But that was the past. Let’s focus on the future.<\/p>\n

How many former Green Bay Packers<\/a> receivers will get a tryout at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, when the Steelers begin training camp next month?<\/p>\n

A quick peek of Pittsburgh’s 2025 schedule suggests that Rodgers might be playing with a rather significant chip on his throwing shoulder. It appears slight grudge matches are possible as early as Week 1.<\/p>\n

He’ll face the Packers Oct. 26<\/a> on “Sunday Night Football.”<\/p>\n

Rodgers, 41, won his only Super Bowl appearance, against the Steelers<\/a> in 2011. He likely doesn’t have that type of roster this season, but looks to be a difference on a team that has lost five straight playoff games and hasn’t advanced past the first round since 2016.<\/p>\n

Social media has mixed feelings on Rodgers arriving soon in the Steel City:<\/p>\n
