Aaron Rodgers has officially signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he wasn't the first option — or second — according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The four-time NFL MVP and former Super Bowl champion is on a one-year deal after ending his free agency.

The situation between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers has received shocking new details after his signing.

Aaron Rodgers will wear No. 8 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers wore No. 12 throughout his entire Green Bay Packers career, but he switched to No. 8, which he wore in college at Cal, when he landed with the Jets in 2023. No. 12 was unavailable in New York with that jersey retired in honor of Super Bowl III-winning quarterback Joe Namath.
