Aaron Rodgers Returns to Steelers on 1-year Deal, AP Sources Say

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.
