Aaron Rodgers reveals his sister-in-law Mia made key decisions in his multi-million dollar contract with the Steelers

In an unexpected revelation, delivered with a joking tone but perhaps not entirely, Aaron Rodgers admitted that he wasn’t the one making the key decisions about his contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The person responsible? None other than his new sister-in-law, Mia, a 20-year-old whom the quarterback calls “the brains of the family.”

Aaron Rodgers admits who really took control of his Steelers contract and it wasn’t him

Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year, $13,650,000 deal with the Steelers this preseason, an amount many consider below market value for a quarterback of his caliber. When asked about it, his response surprised everyone:

“I was following orders from my (new) sister-in-law, Mia,” he said with a smile in an interview with The Athletic. “She’s 20 years old and the brains of the family; you just have to ask her.”

Joke or hidden truth? The mysterious influence of Mia

Though said in jest, the comment sparked all kinds of theories among fans. How much influence does Mia really have? Is this just a way to dodge more sensitive contract topics?

What’s clear is that Aaron Rodgers made it known that money wasn’t the deciding factor: “I’ve made a fortune. I don’t need more. I just want to compete.”

Rodgers and the Steelers: a high-stakes plan with championship hopes

At 41 years old, Aaron Rodgers arrives in Pittsburgh with a clear mindset: to win. After a season with the Jets where he threw for nearly 4,000 yards and 11 touchdowns, the veteran looks to redeem himself and leave a lasting mark on his legacy.

Coach Mike Tomlin has no doubts, expressing his confidence: “He’s here to win a world championship with this group. No tough conversations were needed,” he told The Pat McAfee Show.

The Steelers open their season on September 7th against the New York Jets, with all eyes on Aaron Rodgers. Will he be able to lead Pittsburgh to glory? Or will his decision to follow Mia’s “advice” just be a funny anecdote in a challenging year?

For now, the contract is signed, the challenge is underway, and the story has only just begun.
