The Steelers have found their new starting quarterback in four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers.

Why it matters: Rodgers, 41, is coming off a down year, but the Steelers are desperate to go deep in the playoffs and are betting Rodgers can rekindle the franchise's deep quarterback legacy.

Yes, but: Many Steelers fans believe Rodgers is past his prime and are skeptical he can deliver.

Context: Rodgers will sign a 1-year deal, per the NFL's X account.

The move is hardly surprising. It had been rumored for weeks and Rodgers met with Steelers leadership in March.
This also puts an end to speculation that Rodgers would sign with Minnesota.

What's next: Rodgers will reportedly sign a deal before the Steelers start mini-camp next week.
