Aaron Rodgers has publicly confirmed that he will not play for the Saints. After rumors linking him to that team following Derek Carrâs retirement, there is now no doubt that New Orleans is not an option for the veteran quarterback. So, one step closer to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
During an event with Mike Stud in Austin, a woman asked Rodgers this about his future: âSo, we are from about an hour south of New Orleans and, as you know, we donât have a quarterback and you are a free agent now. Would you ever consider playing for the Saints and making us great again.â
The Super Bowl champion quarterbackâs response was direct: âNo. Thatâs the answer. I played there a couple of times, but, no. The answer is no. Iâm too old. I donât want to live in Louisiana. Sorry.â
What team is Aaron Rodgers going to?
One thing is certain. Aaron Rodgers is not going to the New Orleans Saints, as the veteran quarterback publicly spoke about that option for the first time. Now, everything seems to indicate that his next team will be the Pittsburgh Steelers.
However, given Rodgersâ delay in making a decision, one option that still canât be ruled out is retirement. Aaron looked very relaxed during the event and, although he dropped hints about a possible move to Pittsburgh, the reality is that nothing is set in stone.
