After a long nuptial parade, the NFL MVP quadruple MVP, Aaron Rodgers, accepted a one -year contract with the Pittsburgh steelers in June.
On June 7, the Steelers published a photo of Rodgers signing his contract. The photo was accompanied by the legend “made of the agreement”.
The move of Rodgers in the city of Steel encountered various reactions of fans and sports figurines. The former defensive line player of the New York giants, Chris Canty, described the idea that Rodgers returns to something close to his MVP form in Pittsburgh as a “hoax”.

“These are the Pittsburgh steelers, and it is not so close,” said Canty during a recent edition of the “first take” of ESPN when asked if the Steelers or Bengals were confronted with the most questioned question points in the 2025 season. “It is because I do not believe in the quarter.
“I do not understand why everyone falls into the hoax which is Aaron Rodgers from year to year. We saw him with the New York jets … They were better without him than they were with him.”

ESPN said the agreement is worth $ 13.65 million and includes $ 10 million in guarantees. The contract also includes incentives that could increase total value to a maximum of $ 19.5 million, according to the report. Canty appeared far from confident that the addition of rodgers to the “would increase the ground” for the Steelers.
“You are talking about Pittsburgh steelers being the 10 backgrounds of the league in bags authorized last season. And, oh by the way, they lost a rusher of 1000 yards in Najee Harris in the free agency. A guy (who) spent more than 1,200 meters from the melee of the drop in silers in search of Hows Wif How’s Last Device.”

This is not the first time that Canty has been talking about Rodgers and Steelers. During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” in June, Rodgers suggested that 2025 could be his last season in the NFL. He also shared his hopes of living a relatively private life once he hung up his crampons.
Canty expressed his concerns about how Rodgers approached the offseason and wondered if the veteran quarterrier was fully committed to the Steelers for the coming season.

“It is the definition of selfish test with the moment of Aaron Rodgers who does it,” said Canty, according to Steenernation.com. “Everything we heard him say about McAfee’s show, had nothing to do to help the Steelers with Pittsburgh compete for a championship. All of this had to do with him saying that he wanted to come back for the love of the game.”
The Steelers also confirmed that Rodgers would wear n ° 8 this season, the same number he was carrying with the New York Jets. The names of Rodgers became synonymous with n ° 12 during his long term with the Packers of Green Bay. Terry Bradshaw brought n ° 12 during his career in the Steelers.
Rodgers finished last season with 3,897 yards by the pass and 28 affected against 11 interceptions.
