Aaron Rodgers is heading into what will likely be his final NFL season in 2025 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After signing a one-year deal in free agency with the storied franchise, the 41-year-old quarterback who will turn 42 in December is looking to ride off into the sunset with a Super Bowl win.
Throughout the offseason, the Steelers made multiple win-now moves. In addition to signing Rodgers, the team brought in DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, and Jonnu Smith in blockbuster trades.
Will Rodgers be the missing piece that leads Pittsburgh back to glory? That remains the big question.

At 41 years old, Rodgers is not the superstar that he once was during his prime with the Green Bay Packers. He’s still an above average quarterback, but no one knows exactly what to expect from him in 2025.
With that being said, fellow NFL legend Tom Brady spoke out with strong words about Rodgers recently.
During During an interview with PFF, Brady boldly stated that he believes Rodgers is the best passer of the football in league history.
“He’s won a Super Bowl, many championship games. He’s a winner and I think what I’ve always appreciated about him, what everybody does, is his ability to throw a football and pass it,” Brady said.
“Aaron, in his prime, to me is the greatest passer of the football the league’s ever seen. He could get the ball from point A to B faster and more accurate than any player, I think, in the history of the NFL.”
Brady’s words carry a lot of weight. He’s still widely viewed as the best NFL quarterback of all-time. To come out and say this about Rodgers is very telling.

Throughout Rodgers’ career in the NFL, he has played in 248 games. He has thrown for 62,952 yards, 503 touchdowns, and 116 interceptions, while completing 65.1 percent of his passes.
Add on to those numbers the football IQ and pure arm talent and Brady’s opinion can’t be argued with much. Rodgers has been one of the great of all-time and will be remembered as such for many years to come.
It will be interesting to see what Rodgers’ last NFL chapter has in store, assuming it is indeed his last season. When he does choose to retire, it will be a sad day for the league, just like it was when Brady hung up his cleats.
