After months full of rumors and speculation regarding his future, Aaron Rodgers agreed to a one-year, $25 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The quarterback led the team to the AFC North title in 2025, but couldn’t move past the Houston Texans in the wild-card round.

On Thursday, many fans were taken aback after Rodgers allegedly showed up at OTAs sporting a new haircut. He went bald, shocking everybody in the process.

“It’s official the CTE kicking in time to hang it up,” one fan said.

“Looks like he switched from ayahuasca and mushrooms to Budweiser and meth,” another fan said.

“It’s giving American history X,” a third fan wrote.

“He looks like he could be an extra in prison break,” a fourth fan wrote.

In 16 games last season, he went 327 of 498 for 3,322 yards and 24 touchdowns with seven interceptions. The Steelers have renewed expectations for 2026 after signing Mike McCarthy as head coach and adding offensive pieces such as Michael Pittman Jr. and Rico Dowdle to help Rodgers succeed.
