Most prognosticators were correct — Aaron Rodgers won't reinvent the wheel with his jersey number choice as the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season. He's going back to his familiar No. 8, a number donned the last two years with the New York Jets.

Rodgers wore No. 12 throughout his entire Green Bay Packers career, but he switched to No. 8, which he wore in college at Cal, when he went to the Jets in 2023. No. 12 was unavailable in New York with that jersey retired in honor of quarterback Joe Namath.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is officially a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers after he passed his team physical and signed his one-year deal for 2025 on Saturday. Just how much is Rodgers making this season, exactly? The 41-year-old signal caller will make a $13.65 million base salary for Pittsburgh, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
