Ben Roethlisberger believes 2025 will be Aaron Rodgers's last year

Aaron Rodgers is set to join the Pittsburgh Steelers as Ben Roethlisberger's successor, but Roethlisberger believes it might be a short-lived stint. On his podcast, Roethlisberger speculates that Rodgers might retire after the upcoming season, citing the challenges of recovering fully from significant injuries like his own elbow and Rodgers's Achilles tear. Despite starting all 17 games in 2024 after his injury, Rodgers, who turns 42 in December, may not have many seasons left, as few quarterbacks play into their mid-40s. Rodgers aims to end his career on a high note, potentially by making the playoffs, after an unsatisfactory period in New York. Meanwhile, the Steelers hope Rodgers can lead them to their first playoff win since Roethlisberger's later years, aiming to surpass the results of his final seasons.
