He put pen to paper on a $13.6 million contract for one year.
Pittsburgh held out on the quarterback and their patience paid off.
But not all fans were happy to see the four-time MVP in their colors.
“This feels cheap and desperate,” one fan said on X. “This is not a Pittsburgh Steeler.”
Another said, “I hope he fails the physical. I am not a fan of this decision.”
But one fan seemed to take things up a level in a video posted on TikTok.
A video was shared of a burning Minkah Fitzpatrick jersey.
“I’m burning all my Steelers stuff,” the fan said.
“You decide to pick up Aaron Rodgers?
“I can’t do this any more. You keep killing us.”
The supporter added he was not happy with the team losing Justin Fields or Kenny Pickett.
But his decision to burn a Fitzpatrick jersey raised some eye brows.
Fitzpatrick joined from the Miami Dolphins in 2019 and has been to the Pro Bowl four times as a Steeler.
The clip drew a number of confused responses, including from defensive lineman Cam Heyward.
He wrote, “First off, why Minkah’s jersey? That’s bonkers.
“Second, why burn when there are plenty of people that need clothes.
“Third, you are going to regret it.”
Some fans were excited to see the four-time MVP sign for them.
“Rodgers is gonna be lit this season,” one said.
Another posted, “The best QB of all time.”
