Following a tumultuous two-year stint with the New York Jets, where Rodgers struggled after injuring his Achilles tendon, the 41-year-old veteran is ready for a fresh start. Despite tossing 28 touchdowns in the last season, the Jets only managed to secure five wins.
Rodgers spent his formative years with the Green Bay Packers, scooping up the MVP title four times and leading the team to a Super Bowl victory (you know, the one against the Steelers).
Besides Rodgers, the Steelers have also enlisted Mason Rudolph for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, former Pittsburgh players, are set to join the New York teams—Wilson with the Giants, and Fields stepping in for Rodgers at the Jets.
