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.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are elated to have Aaron Rodgers in the house for the 2025 season. He may turn 42 in December, and his physical assets may be slowing down a bit. But the Steelers are counting on his eyes. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that Pittsburgh is hopeful that Rodgers' "best field vision" can assist the offensive line next season.

After weeks of waiting and mulling his different options, Aaron Rodgers has chosen his new NFL team. The four-time NFL MVP agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team announced Thursday night.
