Schefter adds that the Steelers never lost faith that Rodgers would sign with Pittsburgh.
“ [The] Steelers never wavered in their belief that Aaron Rodgers eventually would sign with Pittsburgh,” Schefter said. “Steelers HC Mike Tomlin loomed large in this entire situation. Tomlin was a drawing card for Rodgers, and was happy to work within Rodgers’ timeline. He is a major reason that Rodgers will be a Steeler.”

The four-time MVP will now officially be the Steelers’ quarterback after months of speculation. He joins an offense that features the newly-acquired DK Metcalf, rookie Kaleb Johnson, and a defense that still features several stars that will make a push to end the eight year drought of no playoff wins.
