Here are a few more reactions.

"Gonna be a good one," a user tweeted.
"Wonder if he seeking vengeance for that wasted plane trip," one wrote.
"Rodgers returns to MetLife, Steelers ready to roll!" a fan commented.

In his first year with the Jets in 2023, Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon in the Week 1 game, which ruled him out for the rest of the season.

Last season, Rodgers recorded 3,897 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions as New York finished with a 5-12 record.

A few months after the Jets released Rodgers in the offseason, the QB said that New York coach Aaron Glenn told him that he didn't see the veteran as part of his plans for the future.

Although there was a lot of speculation around Rodgers' future in the NFL, he signed a one-year contract with the Steelers in June.
