As of Thursday afternoon, the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't know if they'd secure the services of veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers now that his divorce from the New York Jets is finalized. However, the Steelers officially signed former Jets cornerback Brandin Echols after the new league year opened on Wednesday.

Aaron Rodgers' much-hyped but overwhelmingly disappointing two-year tenure with the New York Jets is officially over. The team released the four-time MVP, as expected, and the 41-year-old quarterback can now join another team as a free agent for the first time in his career — if he stills intends to play a 21st NFL season.
