Aaron Rodgers will return to the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2023 NFL season after signing a one-year contract, according to multiple reports. The 42-year-old quarterback, a four-time NFL Most Valuable Player, previously guided the Steelers to an AFC North title, throwing for 24 touchdowns and 7 interceptions last season. His return coincides with the hiring of Mike McCarthy, his former coach with the Green Bay Packers, who led the team to a Super Bowl victory in 2011. This marks a significant reunion as both aim to make a deep playoff run, especially after the Steelers' disappointing playoff exit last January. The Steelers also drafted quarterback Drew Allar and added receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard to bolster their offense. While organized team activities begin on May 18, it remains uncertain when Rodgers will join his teammates, with mandatory minicamp scheduled for June 2-4. The Steelers hope to leverage Rodgers' experience to secure their first postseason victory in a decade.
