The NFL offseason has seen free agency, wheeling and dealing, the draft in Green Bay, and now the Pittsburgh Steelers have created a new headline after (finally) signing Aaron Rodgers. The move, in theory, gives the AFC North team a proven, veteran presence at quarterback, one who could help the team make a significant playoff run.

The situation between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers has received shocking new details after his signing.

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.
