Veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers is set to play in the NFL for at least one more season after agreeing to join the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pending a medical, the NFL's four-time Most Valuable Player (MVP) will be the Steelers' starting quarterback for 2025 after agreeing a one-year deal.
The 41-year-old had spent months weighing up his options having become a free agent for the first time in his 20-year career.
The 2011 Super Bowl winner was released by the New York Jets after a disappointing second season with the team, with his first having been wiped out by an Achilles tendon injury suffered on his debut.
Rodgers reportedly received an offer from the New York Giants, and although he also spoke with the Minnesota Vikings, they decided not to pursue a deal.
In April, Rodgers said that he was "open to anything" and that "retirement could still be a possibility".
But Pittsburgh, who allowed both of last season's starters Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to move on, left the door open and their patience has now paid off.
