Anxious NFL fans in multiple cities might have done a double-take Thursday morning when the news got out that the Pittsburgh Steelers had agreed to terms with a quarterback. But, no, not Aaron Rodgers, folks.

Rudolph, 29, agreed to a two-year deal with the Steelers worth $8 million, per NFL Media. The deal includes $4.5 million in guarantees.
Rudolph did not sign to be Pittsburgh’s starter. That job is still vacant as Rodgers mulls what to do next.
