Aaron Rodgers‘ situation ahead of the 2025 NFL season is drawing attention from stars and fans across the league, all eager to share their opinions. In this case, Buffalo Bills QB and reigning MVP Josh Allen didn’t shy away from questions and delivered a notable statement about the veteran quarterback, who is currently in negotiations with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants.
Rodgers is taking his time to respond to the offers he has received to continue his career with the Steelers or the Giants. The former New York Jets quarterback is playing with the clock before deciding where he will play next season.
Bills‘ Allen is no stranger to the situation and took advantage of his presence at Rodgers’ annual RX3 Charity Flag Football Tournament in Southern California to discuss his relationship with the former Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers. His statement could shed light on A-Rod’s personality at a pivotal moment in his career.
Allen’s message about Rodgers
“He’s a quirky guy, Aaron is. You’ve got to be able to find ways to dig at him just a little bit. I think he respects it when you do that to him, so I let him have it,” Allen declared in an exclusive interview with People during the charity event.
“I wouldn’t say he took me under his wing a couple years ago, but I got to meet him with RX3, and he’s been a big mentor for me and a big role model for that matter. I grew up watching him and idolizing him, so it’s kind of surreal to sit here and be friends with him and a have a relationship with him,” Allen said.
What will Rodgers decide?
While offers from the Steelers and Giants are on the table, there is still no estimated date or clear information on when Rodgers might make a decision. Pittsburgh is waiting for the final answer from the “quirky” 41-year-old quarterback.
What is the RX3 Charity Flag Football Tournament?
The RX3 Charity Flag Football Tournament is an annual event organized by RX3, a private investment firm co-founded by Rodgers. This non-contact football tournament brings together prominent NFL quarterbacks and other personalities to raise funds for various charitable organizations.
