- Rodgers’ contract features a base salary of $13.65 million, includes $10 million in guaranteed money, and offers up to an additional $6 million through performance incentives; however, he will not wear the number 12, as it has been retired by both the Jets and Steelers.
- Terry Bradshaw criticized the signing in a May 27 radio interview, calling it 'a joke' and preferring Kenny Pickett, while teammates like Cam Heyward and Robert Woods expressed optimism, calling the Steelers Super Bowl contenders.
- Rodgers’ arrival suggests the Steelers aim to extend their competitive window, with fans reacting strongly to the new jersey but the team hopeful for improved performance in 2025.
