PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Aaron Rodgers is running it back with the Pittsburgh
Steelers.
Two people with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press that the
four-time NFL MVP agreed to a one-year deal to return to Pittsburgh on
Saturday, ending a protracted decision-making process. The people spoke to the
AP on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced.
The 42-year-old Rodgers guided Pittsburgh to an AFC North title last year,
throwing for 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He seemed to embrace
playing for a team whose football roots run deep, much as he did in Green Bay
earlier in his career, and now he'll be a Steeler for his 22nd and perhaps
final season.
Rodgers reunites with former Packers coach Mike McCarthy, hired to lead the
Steelers in January after Mike Tomlin stepped down following 19 seasons.
