What happened: Aaron Rodgers is traveling to Pittsburgh and is expected to sign with the Steelers this weekend, per a report from 93.7 The Fan relayed by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. No contract terms have been disclosed publicly. The visit follows weeks of back-and-forth between Rodgers and the Steelers' front office.

Why it matters: Pittsburgh has been searching for a starting quarterback all offseason, with Rodgers and Russell Wilson cycling through as the two leading options. A signing would resolve the team's biggest roster question heading into the 2026 season and reshape the AFC North quarterback picture. It also closes the door on a potential Jets reunion after Pittsburgh placed a UFA tender on Rodgers earlier this offseason.

What to watch: Watch for confirmation from the Steelers and Rodgers' camp this weekend, plus contract terms (length, guarantees) once a deal is finalized.
