Rodgers, who spent the first 18 years of his career at Green Bay Packers, visited Steelers and remained in contact with coach Mike Tomlin.
The Giants chose to continue in a different direction and chose Wilson and veteran Jameis Winston before Selecting Jaxson Dart with a first round draft choice.
Pittsburgh brought the Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson backups and his only other quarterback was the sixth round draft Will Howard.
Rodgers has the best career quarterback rating of all time, but his production has fallen in the last two seasons – both sides of that Achilles tendon injury in 2023.
He was appointed MVP of the League in 2020 and 2021, but since then he has had his lowest QB classifications since becoming Green Bay’s beginner in 2008 and launched his interception since 2010.
That season, the Packers challenged a 10-5 record to reach the Super Bowl, beating Pittsburgh 31 to 25 at Cowboys Stadium in Texas.
Tomlin has been the Steelers coach since 2007, winning the Super Bowl in 2009 and, although he has not had a record of losses on their 18 seasons, they have not won a play-off game since 2017.
Pittsburgh started his out -of -season program with organized team activities on May 27, and Rodgers is expected to join them for Minicamp Mandatory on June 10.
In 20 seasons, Rodgers appeared in 241 games, starting 248 of them. He completed 5,369 of 8,245 passes, 65.1%, by 62,952 yards and 503 touchdowns.
It is among the top 10 in all the main categories of passage and is the only quarterback in NFL history, with at least 55,000 passing yards and 3,000 hurry yards.
Rodgers won four MVP NFL awards, with only Peyton Manning (five) ahead on this list.
