Aaron Rodgers‘ future in the 2025 NFL season is an unknown. Following the confirmation of his departure from the New York Jets, the 41-year-old quarterback’s next steps appear to be wide open. The Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants appear to be the two most likely franchises to sign him, but in recent hours the possibility of him joining a rival of the Green Bay Packers has emerged.
It never fails to recall Rodgers’ stellar time in Green Bay, where he won a Super Bowl and was named NFL MVP four times. He became a star with the Packers. The very idea of the veteran quarterback playing for a Pack rival sounds startling, but at this point in the off-season it is possible information.
The truth is that Rodgers has his future in his own hands. The Giants are looking for a quarterback to lead the team’s offence and are in advanced talks with the former Jets QB. The Steelers, meanwhile, are among the suitors, especially as they are without Justin Fields and there is uncertainty over a possible offer for Russell Wilson. In this context, another NFC North franchise should not be ruled out.
Rodgers could play for Packers rival
A recent report from insider Michael Silver suggests that the Minnesota Vikings could be an option for Aaron Rodgers in the 2025 NFL. “Don’t rule out the Vikings,” Silver said on his X account (formerly Twitter). While the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants have been mentioned as possible destinations, don’t rule out the possibility of seeing A-Rod play against a Packers rival.

Where will Aaron Rodgers play?
A report from ESPN’s Mike Garafolo could bring a concrete answer to where Rodgers could play this year. “The Giants have had big conversations with Aaron Rodgers, as I understand it. Those conversations will continue and we’ll see if they’re enough for him,” he said. There is nothing concrete at the moment, and the former Packers player would make a decision about his free agency in the middle of this week.

This is not an easy off-season for the Vikings. The idea of signing Rodgers fits with the goal of filling the void left by the departures of Sam Darnold, who will play for the Seattle Seahawks, and Daniel Jones, whose future is with the Indianapolis Colts after arriving in Minnesota in last November.
