Aaron Rodgers plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports via Brooke Pryor of ESPN ending months of uncertainty around his future and uniting the future Hall of Famer with a team that desperately needs a quarterback.

The news comes more than 80 days since the start of free agency and 70 days after Rodgers visited the Steelers. Sources told Schefter that Rodgers plans to fly to Pittsburgh on Friday and join the Steelers ahead of next week's mandatory minicamp.

Rodgers emerged as a serious candidate to join the Steelers on the first day of the free agent negotiating period in March, but he took a circuitous route to officially becoming a member of the organization.

Rodgers has been linked with the Steelers throughout the offseason, especially after Pittsburgh opted to let both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields leave as free agents. The Steelers did not use a high draft pick on a quarterback in April, and were set to enter their mandatory offseason program with Mason Rudolph as their starter.
