Aaron Rodgers has been looking for a crew that’s prepared to supply him a possibility to begin, and it appears like the previous MVP quarterback has a number of choices.
Rodgers has been seen as a logical match for the New York Giants, who moved on from Daniel Jones final season. A report on Monday then linked Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers simply forward of the beginning of the NFL’s free company authorized tampering window.
Throughout a particular version of ESPN’s “SportsCenter” on Monday, Adam Schefter mentioned he believes each the Giants and Steelers are open to signing Rodgers to be their new beginning quarterback. The Minnesota Vikings are one other potential suitor, however they’re dedicated to growing J.J. McCarthy.
“I feel Aaron Rodgers is gonna have the chance, probably, to begin in two locations. He may have the Pittsburgh job, if that’s what he desires. He may have the Giants job, if that’s what he desires,” Schefter mentioned. “In Minnesota they’re so squarely behind J.J. McCarthy. They need him to be the man. So if Aaron Rodgers goes there, it’s somewhat extra disruptive than it might be if he was going to the Giants or to the Steelers.
“I feel if he known as the Giants proper now and mentioned, ‘I’d wish to take no matter provide we had been discussing,’ sure, I feel he may go there. Do I feel he may go to Pittsburgh? I feel that’s attainable.”
The Steelers mentioned earlier within the offseason that they wished to carry again both Justin Fields or Russell Wilson in 2025. They supposedly preferred Fields, and the previous first-round choose agreed to a two-year deal with the New York Jets on Monday.
The massive query is whether or not the Steelers view Rodgers as a big improve over Wilson. Rodgers is 41 and led the Jets to a 5-12 document final season. Wilson led the Steelers to the playoffs.
Maybe Pittsburgh feels Rodgers has extra upside and might help them get probably the most out of their new star player.
It appears unlikely that there will likely be a bidding warfare for Rodgers at this level in his profession, however he’s in a superb place if two groups actually wish to signal him.
