Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has signed a one-year deal with a base salary of $22.5 million, with additional incentives to secure a lucrative payday if he leads the team to a playoff win.
Rodgers’ new one-year deal includes a $22.5 million base salary with an extra few million in incentives. Though Rodgers led Pittsburgh to the playoffs last season, the team was ousted in the wild-card round by the Houston Texans.
But if Rodgers can snap the Steelers’ nine-year streak without a playoff win, he could cash in on a lucrative payday.insider Jordan Schultz reported.
“If he plays 75% of the regular season snaps, he can earn the following: $625K for a Wild Card win, $625K for a Divisional Round win, $625K for an AFC Championship win, $625K for a Super Bowl win. ”The Steelers haven’t won a wild-card game since 2016 — a 30-12 win over the Miami Dolphins.
Their last divisional round win came in that same year — an 18-16 win over the Kansas City Chiefs — and their last AFC Championship Game win was in 2010 — a 24-19 victory over the New York Jets. Pittsburgh hasn’t won a Super Bowl since 2008, when they defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 in former head coach Mike Tomlin’s second year. Despite the turbulent past few seasons Rodgers has endured, 2025 was one of the better years he’s had.
The four-time MVP threw for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions with a 94.8 passer rating — his highest since 2021.
