Jets’ Aaron Rodgers reportedly reached out to shocking workforce
NFL insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic raised eyebrows when she reported on Tuesday that “there is not any one workforce that [she’s] listening to that’s, available in the market, locked in on” pursuing veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers after his divorce from the New York Jets turns into official.
It seems Rodgers is now not ready to listen to from golf equipment.
On Wednesday, Professional Soccer Speak’s Mike Florio reported that he heard on the NFL mix that “Rodgers has reached out to the” New York Giants.
“The best way I heard this particular factor,” Florio wrote, “leads me to consider it’s extra doubtless than not true. It’s unclear whether or not the Giants could be curious about Rodgers. Sure, he could possibly be higher than different choices they’ll have, particularly if he’ll take much less money with a purpose to stick it slightly bit (or rather a lot) to the Jets, who didn’t need to preserve him.”
Final week, Rodgers mentioned he seeks ” workforce” that wishes him. That was earlier than Pat Leonard of the New York Each day Information reported on Tuesday that Rodgers “prefers to play for the” Los Angeles Rams in the event that they commerce present QB1 Matthew Stafford to a membership just like the Giants.
Sadly for Rodgers and Huge Blue, Rams head coach Sean McVay just lately introduced his want to proceed working with Stafford by at the least the 2025 season. Moreover, Los Angeles seemingly is not in any hurry to commerce Stafford, regardless that he is on the lookout for a big pay increase by way of a restructured deal.
Stafford is signed by the 2026 marketing campaign.
Rodgers acknowledged this previous December that he “simply re-did [his] home right here in Jersey” and that his “purpose was to play a few extra years right here.” In the meantime, marketed “good” groups that would have new beginning quarterbacks this coming September, such because the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings, reportedly have choices apart from Rodgers in thoughts.
On Feb. 14, Steve Helling and Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Put up reported Rodgers “aggressively urged the Jets to stay with him for one more season or two all through a number of conversations.” The notion exists that Rodgers might have realized there wasn’t a lot of a marketplace for his companies then.
The Giants might signal Rodgers to a team-friendly contract and nonetheless take Miami’s Cam Ward or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders by way of the third total choose of the 2025 draft. Then once more, Rodgers might determine at any level he’d moderately retire than play for a workforce in the course of a rebuild.
