There’s always at least one NFL team desperate for a competent quarterback.
In the post-Roethlisberger era, Pittsburgh has sadly been one of those teams – wasting a premium defense and head coach on a roster that can’t move the ball.
Pittsburgh was identified early as a potential landing zone for Aaron Rodgers, who batted his eyelashes throughout the first few months of the free agency period before finally making a decision.
If Rodgers still has anything left in the tank, his arrival could stabilize the franchise in the short term. But for now, with Rodgers in his 40s and the status of T.J. Watt’s contract negotiations still up in the air, bettors are lukewarm at best at the Steelers’ odds.
Aaron Rodgers Contract
Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Steelers worth $13.65 million. Most of the money is up front.
Naturally, there are several contract incentives for a high-ceiling quarterback like Rodgers. To qualify for any of them, he must play at least 70% of the Steelers’ offensive snaps. They include:
- $500,000 if the Steelers make the playoffs
- $600,000 if the Steelers advance to the divisional round
- $750,000 if the Steelers advance to the AFC Championship game
- $1 million if the Steelers win the AFC
- $1.5 million if the Steelers win the Super Bowl
- $1.5 million if Rodgers wins NFL MVP
