Aaron Rodgers keeps the entire NFL in suspense as he decides whether his future lies with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New York Giants, or, in a less likely option, retirement.

The veteran is the most significant name remaining in the quarterback market after players like Sam Darnold, Geno Smith, and Matthew Stafford have decided on their teams for the 2025 season.

Rodgers is trying to win the final Super Bowl of his career after a setback with the New York Jets. He is the last piece in the big domino effect for other players like Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Kirk Cousins.

Where is Aaron Rodgers?

Aaron Rodgers was spotted walking on a Malibu beach, and the exclusive photos from the Daily Mail sparked a major controversy among thousands of fans. With no sense of urgency seen from the quarterback, many are questioning whether teams should wait weeks or months for what a single player decides jeopardizing the future of a franchise.

As a consequence, the Steelers had to make an urgent move by signing Mason Rudolph because they didn’t have a reliable QB in case Rodgers rejected them. If they hadn’t acted quickly, Aaron could have left them empty-handed and without alternatives.
