Aaron Rodgers offers hint at joining Steelers in jab at Bears

Aaron Rodgers may have tipped his hand as to the identity of his next NFL employer.

While making an appearance at a Mike Stud concert in Austin, Texas on Friday, Rodgers was asked by a young fan whether he’d play for the Chicago Bears.

Her question was met with a bit of laughter from the audience, given Rodgers’ previous claim that he “owned” the rival Bears during his time as the star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.

“No, but I believe there’s a team that might play in Chicago this year on a road trip,” Rodgers said. “I love Chicago, though. Way more than they love me.”

Aaron Rodgers was asked at an event this weekend whether he would ever consider playing for the Bears and, in turn, might have provided a hint of his plans for the 2025 season. (The Steelers do play in Chicago).pic.twitter.com/o5qozmrAfG

More on Aaron Rodgers

If one is willing to read into Aaron Rodgers’ comment, the Pittsburgh Steelers play in Chicago on Nov. 23. The Steelers, of course, long have been rumored to be the eventual landing spot for Rodgers.

Russell Wilson and Justin Fields were the starters in Pittsburgh last season and both signed free agent deals to play in New York — Wilson with the Giants, Fields with the Jets.

Quarterbacks currently on Pittsburgh’s roster are Mason Rudolph, a former Steeler who is returning after a season with the Tennessee Titans, Skylar Thompson and sixth-round draft pick Will Howard.

Rodgers, 41, passed for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns with the Jets in 2024, returning from a season-ending Achilles injury suffered in his first game with the team in September 2023.

A four-time NFL MVP and 10-time Pro Bowl selection, Aaron Rodgers ranks fifth in league history in touchdown passes (503) and seventh in passing yards (62,952).

After extending George Kittle and Brock Purdy this offseason, the San Francisco 49ers have inked a deal with one of their franchise cornerstones on the other side of the ball.

According to ESPN‘s Adam Schefter, linebacker Fred Warner has “reached an agreement on a three-year, $63 million contract extension that includes over $56 million in guaranteed money.”

Warner becomes the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL history, again.

NFL Network‘s Ian Rapoport clarified that it’s $56.7 million in guaranteed money, to be exact, for the San Francisco LB.

While some faces found new homes in free agency, or via trade, 49ers’ GM John Lynch has managed to secure extensions with Kittle, Purdy, and now Warner all in the same month.
