When Aaron Rodgers finally agreed to a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier in June, it was only a one-year deal. It turns out that it will likely be the final contract of Rodgers’ historic NFL career.

The new Steelers quarterback is “pretty sure” he will retire following the 2025 NFL season, he told “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday. 

“That’s why we did a one-year deal,” Rodgers said. “The Steelers didn’t need to put any extra years on that or anything. This was really about finishing with a lot of love, fun and peace for the career I’ve had. I’ve played 20 freaking years. It’s been a long, long run. I’ve enjoyed it. 

“What better place to finish than with one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL, Mike Tomlin and a great group of leadership and guys in a city that expects you to win?”
