Adam Schefter says the Pittsburgh Steelers were in pursuit of two other quarterbacks before turning their attention solely to Aaron Rodgers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are all smiles after finally ending their courtship of four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers, 41, officially inked his contract with Pittsburgh this past Saturday as he enters a new chapter with his third team (Packers, Jets).

A pursuit that began even before the 2025 NFL Draft finally came to an end this week. Aaron Rodgers signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers – and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said there was a sense of “relief” in the building.
