Aaron Rodgers’ Contract, Salary, and Net Worth: How Much Is the 4-Time NFL MVP’s Deal With the Steelers?

Aaron Rodgers’ free agency saga is finally over. The 20-year veteran officially signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, June 7.

While this contract isn’t as lucrative as the deals Rodgers signed in the past, he’s still getting a nice payday. What is Rodgers’ 2025 salary, and how does it stack up to other NFL quarterbacks? Let’s examine his new deal, career earnings, net worth, and more.

Breaking Down Aaron Rodgers’ $13.65 Million Contract With the Steelers

Rodgers and the Steelers had been linked for most of the offseason, but the quarterback delayed signing to handle some issues in his personal life. Pittsburgh was quietly confident that Rodgers would sign and passed on selecting a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft until the sixth round (when they drafted Will Howard).

The 10-time Pro Bowler is coming off one of his worst statistical seasons, throwing for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 2024. However, with just Mason Rudolph, Howard, and Skylar Thompson on the roster, Rodgers was clearly Pittsburgh’s best option under center.

Rodgers officially signed his contract with the Steelers on Saturday. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the veteran quarterback signed a one-year, $13.65 million deal.

Rodgers’ contract with the Steelers includes $10 million in guaranteed money, and he could earn as much as $19.5 million. Schefter reported that Pittsburgh’s new quarterback has $5.85 million in playing-time and team-performance incentives in the contract.

Rodgers’ net worth is estimated to be $200 million. He has earned $381,692,206 throughout his NFL career, and this figure doesn’t even factor in his many endorsement deals over the years.

The four-time NFL MVP is entering his 21st NFL season, and he’s hoping that this stint goes better than his drama-filled tenure with the New York Jets that ended on ugly terms.

He recently caught flak from Pittsburgh legend Terry Bradshaw, who said, “That guy needs to stay in California, go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there” before adding that the saga was “a joke.”

Rodgers’ Jets Tenure Ends in Disappointment, Steelers’ O-Line Could Be Next Hurdle

The 2005 first-round pick played 18 years for the Green Bay Packers, winning Super Bowl 45, before being traded to the Jets in 2023.

His first season in New York ended after he tore his Achilles on the fourth play of the season opener. The following year, New York went 5-12 in his one full season as the starter.

Rodgers finished No. 21 in PFSN’s QB+ metric last season and led the 19th-best offense, according to PFSN’s Offense+ metric. For reference, Russell Wilson finished 17th in QB+ last season, but Pittsburgh’s offense finished 25th in Offense+.

In addition to Rodgers, the Steelers also traded for DK Metcalf this offseason — a move that likely played a part in Rodgers signing with Pittsburgh. However, the Steelers’ offensive line may prove to be their biggest issue. The unit finished 25th in PFSN’s OL+ metric, and that could be a problem as Rodgers struggled behind New York’s 26th-ranked offensive line last season.

The jury is out on Rodgers as a Steeler until he gets on the field in the regular season. All eyes will be on Rodgers when he faces his former team, the Jets, in Week 1 of the season. For now, Pittsburgh should be relieved that their search for a proven starting quarterback is over. At least for 2025.
