Rodgers is estimated to possess a net worth of north of $200 million. Across his career with the Green Bay Packers and the Steelers, Rodgers’ on-field contract earnings are estimated to total roughly $394.8 million.

With the Steelers, Rodgers is also set to reunite with his former Packers HC Mike McCarthy. They spent 13 seasons together.

Rodgers led the Steelers to a 10-6 record and a playoff berth last season while throwing for  24 touchdowns against just six interceptions. At the age of 42, Rodgers managed to start 16 games last year. With Pittsburgh very clearly operating in a win-now mode, the organization will now expect the veteran to lead them back to the playoffs and also help them finally end their nine-year drought without a playoff victory.

This is a developing story.
