Aaron Rodgers continues to delay his response to the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ offer, as the team looks to sign him as their starting quarterback for the 2025 NFL season. Amid days of speculation and silence from the veteran and former Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers, rumors suggest that an NFC South team could soon make a move for him.
Unexpected events can take place during the offseason, leading to surprising twists. Rodgers could be under consideration by a team that already has a starting quarterback, but a recent injury might force them to look for an alternative before training camp begins.
The NFC team that could be interested in making a move for Rodgers is the New Orleans Saints. The report came from NFL insider Mike Florio, though for now it remains only a rumor, as the team which features star running back Alvin Kamara has yet to begin formal talks for A-Rod. “Rodgers is the best available free agent. Expect to see a report, sooner than later, that the Saints have reached out,” Florio wrote on NBC Sports.
The shoulder injury suffered by Saints quarterback Derek Carr has raised questions about his availability for the upcoming season. According to recent reports, the New Orleans franchise star might require surgery to address the issue, which would cast doubt on his participation in the next campaign.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Carr’s availability for the upcoming season is at risk. This means that New Orleans only has backups Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener to fill a key position. In this context, seeking new options could be the best decision.

Even though the Saints could make a move for Rodgers, it’s unlikely that the former New York Jets quarterback would accept an offer from New Orleans, considering the delay in responding to the Steelers (a team with a competitive roster). The Saints could instead take advantage of holding the ninth overall pick in the draft to select a quarterback with starting potential.
