CONFIRMED: New York Jets Make Historic Trade, Send Quarterback Aaron Rodgers to Steelers in Permanent Deal
CONFIRMED: New York Jets Make Historic Trade, Send Quarterback Aaron Rodgers to Steelers in Permanent Deal.
February 12, 2025 – In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the NFL, the New York Jets have officially traded star quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a permanent deal. The blockbuster trade, confirmed by both teams early Tuesday morning, marks one of the most significant transactions in recent NFL history.
According to insiders, the Jets will receive multiple draft picks, including a first-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, as well as key players from the Steelers’ roster in exchange for the four-time MVP quarterback. The deal cements Rodgers’ future in Pittsburgh, where he is expected to lead the franchise for the foreseeable future.
“This was not an easy decision, but ultimately, we had to do what was best for our team moving forward,” said Jets General Manager Joe Douglas. “Aaron is an incredible player and leader, and we appreciate everything he has done for this organization.”
For the Steelers, acquiring Rodgers represents a major shift in their quarterback situation. After years of instability following the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, the team now has a proven veteran to lead their offense.
“We are thrilled to welcome Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh,” said Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. “His experience, leadership, and skill set will be invaluable as we aim to compete for a championship.”
Rodgers, 41, played just one full season with the Jets after suffering a season-ending Achilles injury in 2023. He returned in 2024 but struggled to find consistency in a tumultuous season for the team. Despite high hopes, the Jets failed to make a deep playoff run, prompting speculation about Rodgers’ future with the franchise.
With Rodgers gone, the Jets will likely turn to former first-round pick Zach Wilson or explore other quarterback options in the draft or free agency. Rumors are already swirling about the team’s potential interest in top college prospects or veteran quarterbacks like Kirk Cousins or Justin Fields.
Rodgers has yet to make a public statement, but sources close to the quarterback suggest he is excited about the opportunity to play in Pittsburgh. The Steelers boast a strong defense and a young, talented offense, making them a serious contender in the AFC with Rodgers at the helm.
With this seismic trade, the NFL landscape has once again been reshaped. All eyes will be on Rodgers and the Steelers as they prepare for the 2025 season, with one question on everyone’s mind: Can he bring another Super Bowl to Pittsburgh?
