Aaron Rodgers‘ future in the 2025 NFL season remains uncertain. The Minnesota Vikings decided to halt negotiations and chose JJ McCarthy as their starting quarterback for the upcoming campaign. The 41-year-old quarterback has made his stance clear during the offseason.
The Vikings had been identified as one of the franchises interested in Rodgers during the offseason, but this decision leaves the former Green Bay Packers player out of the race to play in Minnesota. McCarthy, who was absent for the entire last season, will take on the central role.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants are lurking with their offers on the table. The black & gold franchise has already shown on several occasions that they are waiting for Rodgers’ final decision, even if it means not moving forward with signing a quarterback in these days. It was speculated that this answer would come after resolving his situation with the Vikings, making this the ideal moment to find out what A-Rod thinks.
What is Rodgers’ stance on his future?
Although the Vikings decided on McCarthy, we will have to keep waiting. According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, nothing related to Minnesota’s decision has altered Rodgers’ timeline for making a final decision. “Is in no rush at all,” he revealed on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

The veteran quarterback became a free agent after being released by the New York Jets, but it seems he is in no rush to take his time and consider all possible variables before choosing his new team for the upcoming season.

What is the time limit for Rodgers’ decision?
Unlike what was initially believed when he left the Jets, Rodgers has options to determine his future. The biggest limit will be the patience the Steelers and Giants have while waiting for him to decide, as each day these two teams don’t use to sign a starting quarterback is a missed opportunity to improve their roster. On a personal level, the former Packers player has not set a deadline for himself.
