The saga of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> with the New York Jets has finally come to an end, and the seasoned quarterback is now seeking a new direction for the upcoming NFL season. The former Packers player wants to join a contender, which is why he is reportedly interested in joining an NFC West team to replace a former Super Bowl champion.


 


<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-stafford">Matthew Stafford</a> and the Los Angeles Rams reached glory in early 2022, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals to claim Super Bowl LVI. But three years later, the quarterback’s future in LA looks up in the air, with Rodgers emerging as a potential replacement.



The former Lions QB’s continued stay in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams">Los Angeles</a> depends on a contractual agreement between both parties, something that, for now, is far from being finalized. Stafford’s renewal with the Rams would require a significant financial commitment, something the franchise is not 100 percent sure about proceeding with.



If an agreement is not reached in the near future, it’s likely that Matthew Stafford will be traded to another franchise, and the option of adding Rodgers for the upcoming season is something that has been gaining traction, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter.

“If the Rams couldn’t get a deal done with Stafford, if they decide to trade him – a lot of ifs involved – then Aaron Rodgers, in my mind, would be thrilled with the idea of going to Los Angeles,” Schefter said.

<h2>What’s next for Aaron Rodgers?</h2>



Rodgers’ stint with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">New York Jets</a> definitely did not meet the franchise’s expectations, as they had hoped to see their team in a Super Bowl. In his first season, a serious Achilles tendon injury forced him to miss the entire year, while in the most recent campaign, the results were far from what was desired.



All of this led to both the Jets and Rodgers deciding to go their separate ways starting in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season, although his future remains uncertain. While the Rams option could become a reality if Stafford’s situation is resolved, nothing concrete has been confirmed regarding this possibility.


 


Two other franchises with serious <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> aspirations, both of which currently lack a starting quarterback, are the Minnesota Vikings and, additionally, the Las Vegas Raiders, who have added Pete Carroll as their new head coach and have Tom Brady as one of the franchise owners.

Justin Fields had a very contrasting 2024 season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>. After <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> got injured in preseason, the former Chicago Bears player shined as the starting quarterback, leading Mike Tomlin’s team to a 4-2 record.



Despite his good results, when Wilson recovered, the head coach didn’t hesitate and sent Fields to the bench. For a moment, the decision seemed great with a 10-3 record, but everything ended in disaster with five consecutive losses and another early exit in the playoffs.



Now, Justin Fields will become a free agent with two clear goals. First, securing a good contract since he is only 25 years old. Second, signing with a team that gives him a real opportunity to compete for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>.



<h2>Will Justin Fields get contract extension from Steelers?</h2>



Justin Fields wants to play for the Steelers, but if Pittsburgh doesn’t guarantee him a “clear path” to be the starter, the New York Jets could be interested in the young quarterback, according to a report from Jeremy Fowler.


 

 


“Justin Fields is going to be a hot name in free agency. Outside of Sam Darnold, the current top free agent quarterback, Fields can make a strong argument for number two. I’m told Fields is open to a return to Pittsburgh. He had a good experience there. The belief is that Pittsburgh is also open to that too, but he wants a clear runway to start a full season. He would like to be the guy wherever he goes. The Jets are a sleeper option here. They could have some interest. They like the idea of a dual threat quarterback. I’m told that Justin Fields has looked at that roster and sees some intrigue there.”

The Minnesota Vikings fell short of their goals for the 2024-25 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. However, Sam Darnold’s arrival provided a crucial stopgap, seamlessly covering for JJ McCarthy’s injury. The Vikings chose not to sign Darnold to a long-term deal, making his renewal more complicated. Securing a new contract would now require a massive multi-million dollar deal. Amid this uncertainty, NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen made a surprising statement about the quarterback position. He suggested a former New York Jets player as a potential solution.



On the Up and Adams show, Jarred Allen discussed the Vikings’ quarterback situation. “So here are the options: They can franchise Sam. They could tag him, which would be $41 million this year…Vikings could try for a long-term contract with Sam, which would be, you know, four years, $160 million-ish. They could roll with JJ McCarthy, commit to him, and let Sam walk.” However, Jarred added another alternative: “They could bring in a veteran quarterback.”



After analyzing the options, Allen stated that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> could be a great alternative following the possible departure of Sam Darnold. “We’re hearing…the old Brett Favre/Aaron Rodgers vibe: Aaron Rodgers to the Vikings...” Then, Allen was asked if Rodgers would fit for Vikings QB and he answered: “I say reluctantly yes,“ stated Jared Allen on Up and Adams Show.



Some NFL experts, like Tom Pelissero and former NFL players, believe the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Vikings</a> are taking a big risk with JJ McCarthy. They argue that relying on McCarthy after Sam Darnold’s departure is a gamble. McCarthy is coming off a long-term injury and might struggle to regain his competitive rhythm.

Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota. </figcaption></figure>



Additionally, McCarthy must replace <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sam-darnold" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Darnold</a>, who is 27 years old and had his best season last year. This situation makes the decision even riskier for the Vikings. For this reason, NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen suggests signing a veteran quarterback as a safer solution.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/vikings-jj-mccarthy-provides-key-update-on-his-injury-status"></div>


<h2>Why Aaron Rodgers could be a great fit for the Vikings’ QB spot?</h2>



Aaron Rodgers was released by the New York Jets less than a week ago. He could be a great alternative to support young JJ McCarthy. Rodgers’ presence would give McCarthy more time to regain confidence and avoid unnecessary injury risks. This move would also provide the Vikings with short-term stability at quarterback. At the same time, it would not limit McCarthy’s long-term development and projection.



<h2>Aaron Rodgers has reportedly already made a decision about his professional retirement</h2>



After his release from the New York Jets, rumors suggested Aaron Rodgers might retire from professional football. However, journalist Albert Breer from Sports Illustrated reports that Rodgers has informed the Jets of his desire to keep playing in 2025. 



“Rodgers did tell Mougey and Glenn that it was his tentative intention to play in 2025…things can change, of course, but Rodgers gave the Jets the impression that he had unfinished business to take care of.”

The New York Jets‘ offseason began with a shock when the organization confirmed that quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> will not be available for the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. In recent hours, however, information has come to light about a request the 41-year-old veteran has reportedly made to management.



Rodgers’ future in the NFL is uncertain. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> are rumored to be interested in signing the former Green Bay Packers star while they figure out what to do with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, the two Black &amp; Gold quarterbacks who will be free agents.



Rodgers was not so happy with the idea of changing teams. In the twilight of his career, he will have to find a new destination and listen to offers. The same could happen to his teammate, wide receiver Davante Adams, if he does not accept a reduction in his contract.



<h2>The request Rodgers reportedly made to the Jets prior to his departure from the team</h2>



According to reporters Steve Helling and Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Rodgers reportedly “pleaded” with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jets</a> to keep him on the team next season, pushing for more time in New York. However, the organization was not flexible with his request and decided to release him.

It is striking that a player of Rodgers’ NFL experience and caliber would go so far as to insist on staying with a franchise that is rebuilding after a disappointing season that included the midseason firing of head coach Robert Saleh.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/aaron-rodgers-net-worth"></div>

 


<h2>Will Rodgers continue to play in the NFL?</h2>



Poor seasons with the Jets could be an obstacle to finding a new team, and Rodgers wants to be the starting quarterback for an NFL franchise. The 41-year-old veteran is available and open to being part of a project where he is the centerpiece of the roster. The question is whether a team will match that ambition.

Aaron Rodgers reportedly made a surprising request to Jets before leaving New York

After several days of speculation, the New York Jets have decided that Aaron Rodgers will not be part of their plans for the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. In an official statement, the franchise confirmed that the former Super Bowl champion will be set aside, leaving the doubt to veteran wide receiver <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams">Davante Adams</a>.



Adams came to New Jersey in mid-2024 at the express request of quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rodgers</a>, who saw the 32-year-old receiver as a player who could improve the Jets’ offense. The two players had shared a team with the Green Bay Packers for eight seasons.



Adams’ tenure with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jets</a> was only justified by the presence of Rodgers. With the 41-year-old quarterback off the team, there could be news surrounding the former Las Vegas Raiders receiver. According to NFL insider Mike Florio of CBS, Adams will only stay in New Jersey if he drastically reduces his salary for next season.



Florio also reported that the Jets are not in a position to pay Adams’ 2025 compensation package, which stands at $36,1 million. Given the context, if the veteran receiver refuses to renew his contract, he would follow in Rodgers’ footsteps and leave the team, becoming a free agent for the first time in his career.

<h2>Where will Aaron Rodgers continue his career?</h2>



There are many possible destinations for the 41-year-old quarterback who was released by the Jets. Some unofficial rumors have linked Rodgers to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, who have yet to decide what to do with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Mike Tomlin’s team was previously interested in Davante Adams, so in that scenario, there could be a possibility, albeit remote at this point, that both he and Rodgers could end up with the Black &amp; Gold franchise.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/aaron-rodgers-net-worth"></div>

 

 


<h2>Steelers player is against interest in Rodgers</h2>



Though the Steelers have emerged as a team that could be interested in signing Aaron Rodgers, safety Deshaun Elliott doesn’t want him in Pittsburgh and expressed a controversial message on his Instagram account. “Leave him in the retirement home,” the Black and Gold player said in response to a news story that anticipated interest in the 41-year-old quarterback.

Jets reportedly set to make final decision on Davante Adams after Aaron Rodgers' exit

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> and Mike Tomlin are searching for their starting quarterback for the upcoming season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> was not the solution they had hoped for, which opens up a wide range of possibilities for the future.



Justin Fields is only 25 years old, and although he will become a free agent, he could be a relatively inexpensive option to finally test whether he can be the franchise leader, especially with the 2025 draft not being very deep at that position.



The other path is to look for a veteran, perhaps with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> experience, to put the Steelers back in win-now mode due to the lack of young prospects. That route may have become easier for Pittsburgh.



<h2>Is Aaron Rodgers a free agent in 2025?</h2>



Aaron Rodgers will be free to sign with any team after the Jets officially confirmed that they have decided to go in a different direction with new head coach Aaron Glenn’s project.


 

 


This means that, just like with Russell Wilson after leaving Denver in 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers won’t need a trade or draft picks to acquire Rodgers if Mike Tomlin wants him as his starting quarterback.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-steelers-are-reportedly-interested-in-blockbuster-trade-for-star-quarterback-to-replace-russell-wilson"></div>


The interesting part of the situation is when the Jets will release Rodgers, as that could impact the Steelers’ decision. If New York does it immediately, the salary cap hit will be $49 million of dead money for next season. If the Jets wait until after June 6, perhaps the most logical move, the dead money would be distributed with $14 million in 2025 and $35 million in 2026.

The New York Jets have officially announced their decision regarding <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a>. In a statement released by the team’s communications department, Jets confirmed that the organization is moving on from the former Super Bowl champion. 



“Last week we met with Aaron and shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at quarterback,” HC Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey stated about the situation regarding Rodgers. “It was important to have this discussion now to provide clarity and enable each of us the proper time to plan for our respective futures.”



Also, both Glenn and Mougey delivered a message to Rodgers for his years of dedication.“We want to thank Aaron for his leadership, passion, and dedication to the organization, and we wish him success in the future,” the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">Jets</a> wrote on their official website.



<h2>Jets chairman addresses on Rodgers’ departure</h2>



Despite posting some of the best quarterback numbers in franchise history, Aaron Rodgers is not in the Jets’ plans for the upcoming season. Acknowledging this, Jets chairman Woody Johnson shared a message for the former Super Bowl champion.

“I personally want to thank Aaron for his time with the New York Jets. His arrival in 2023 was met with unbridled excitement, and I will forever be grateful that he chose to join us to continue his Hall of Fame career,” Johnson said in a statement released by the team.

Johnson added: “From day one, he embodied all that it meant to be a New York Jet, embraced our fans, and immersed himself in our city. That is what I will remember most when I look back at his time here. He will always be welcome, and I wish him only the best in whatever he chooses to do next.“



<h2>Rodgers’ numbers with the Jets</h2>



Aaron Rodgers’ tenure with the New York Jets got off to a disastrous start after he suffered a torn Achilles just four plays into his debut, sidelining him for most of the season. While he made a late push to help the team stay in playoff contention, his overall numbers weren’t among the league’s best, and questions about his age and durability loomed as the Jets fought for a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> postseason berth.



Rodgers started 17 games last season, throwing for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns, both ranking as the third-highest single-season marks in franchise history.

Aaron Rodgers will not play for the Jets during the next season, and surprisingly, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> could be an alternative for the veteran quarterback to pursue the second <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> of his illustrious career.



A few days ago, several reports confirmed that Aaron Glenn has already informed Rodgers that he is not part of the Jets’ plans, so the star must decide what will happen with his future.



Rodgers is 41 years old, a strong option on the table is retirement. However, if the star really wants one last chance to fight for the championship, Pittsburgh could be very attractive if Mike Tomlin and the team no longer trust <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> or Justin Fields.



<h2>Will Aaron Rodgers play for Steelers?</h2>



Although the Steelers have become the favorite team to sign Aaron Rodgers over the Raiders, Deshaun Elliott does not want him in Pittsburgh. The safety has sparked a major controversy after posting a message on Instagram.


 

 


In a post that specifically showed the Steelers’ interest in signing Rodgers, Elliott made it very clear that he disagrees with that possibility: “Leave him at the retirement home.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-mike-tomlin-and-steelers-are-reportedly-ready-to-sign-their-next-starting-quarterback-for-2025-season"></div>


As expected, Elliott has become a trending topic on social media and has caused a huge distraction right at the start of the offseason for the Steelers. If the quarterback signs with the Steelers, this would be a huge problem inside the locker room.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a> are gearing up for the 2025 NFL season. The AFC West team is reportedly in the market for a veteran quarterback, and part-owner <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a> has his eyes set on one name—and it’s not Aaron Rodgers.



While the 2024 campaign isn’t over yet, several teams are already planning for next season. The Raiders are among them, as they were eliminated early last year and are now looking to strengthen their roster.



Tom Brady, now a part-owner of the team, is expected to have a significant influence on their decision-making. Many fans believe his presence will help improve the franchise, and one of his key tasks this offseason is to find a reliable quarterback who can lead the team to success.



<h2>Report: Tom Brady targets a veteran quarterback for the Raiders</h2>



The Raiders struggled throughout the 2024 season. Despite having some star players on the roster, they need major reinforcements to become a competitive squad in 2025—starting with the quarterback position.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/chip-kelly-was-reportedly-lured-by-a-big-offer-from-the-raiders-making-him-the-highest-paid-coordinator"></div>


Last year, the AFC West franchise rotated between Gardner Minshew, Aidan O’Connell, and Desmond Ridder. However, none of them proved to be a dependable long-term option, which is why the team is expected to bring in a new quarterback this offseason.



The Raiders are reportedly planning a complete overhaul of their quarterback room. While they are expected to select a rookie in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>, they are also in the market for an experienced veteran to provide leadership and stability.



Tom Brady understands the importance of having a seasoned quarterback to mentor a young signal-caller. With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-jets-have-reportedly-confirmed-to-aaron-rodgers-their-final-decision-about-his-future-as-quarterback-in-new-york" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers potentially leaving the Jets</a>, many fans thought he could join the Raiders, but apparently this idea is not approved by TB12.

According to Adam Schefter, the Raiders are “a team to watch” for free agent Sam Darnold this offseason. Darnold had a strong year with the Vikings, but with J.J. McCarthy returning, he is likely to be relegated to a backup role—something he reportedly wants to avoid.



<h2>How much could Sam Darnold earn in his next contract?</h2>



While the Vikings have yet to decide whether to offer Sam Darnold a new deal, his value has significantly increased after his impressive 2024 campaign. This could make it difficult for Minnesota to retain him.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-russell-wilson-confirms-the-team-he-wants-to-play-for-next-season-between-steelers-and-raiders"></div>


According to Spotrac, Darnold could land a four-year, $160 million contract this offseason. The Raiders could make a similar offer and bring him in as both a starter and a mentor for the rookie quarterback they plan to draft.

Aaron Rodgers is facing the last big decision of his NFL career. The former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> champion had been waiting to see what the new Jets head coach, Aaron Glenn, would do in order to take the next step.



In the past few weeks, many rumors have been swirling the quarterback after a disappointing season in New York where he didn’t even make the playoffs. However, his individual numbers in 2024 open the door for a fresh start elsewhere: 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.



Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if a team gave him a chance. In fact, due to the respect and admiration Mike Tomlin has shown him, one of the possible destinations that has been discussed is the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> to replace <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a>.



<h2>What is the future of Aaron Rodgers?</h2>



Aaron Rodgers is out of the New York Jets, according to a surprising report from Jay Glazer. The information states that the team’s front office has already informed the veteran that he is not part of head coach Aaron Glenn’s plans.


 

 


“Aaron Rodgers flew back to New Jersey last week to meet with the Jets about his future with the team, only to be told that the team was moving on from him. If that means that he will be a June 1 designation that allows him to sign with any team in the league on March 12 if he decides to continue to play. Given that Aaron made the effort to fly back to discuss his future, all signs point to him continuing to play. It just won’t be for the Jets.”
