Every minute that passes increases the anticipation surrounding <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a>‘ potential arrival. The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ world is waiting for the decision that the veteran quarterback might make for the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. In the meantime, the offseason continues, and head coach Mike Tomlin welcomed a potential key weapon for the offensive side.



It’s clear that the wide receiver position was a weak spot in terms of depth for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers</a> last year. However, this flaw has been addressed in recent days, with the addition of DK Metcalf and the re-signing of Scotty Miller, joining George Pickens and Calvin Austin III.



Although finalizing A-Rod’s signing is the Steelers’ main mission, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tomlin</a> is working on designing the roster for the upcoming season, with the goal of winning a postseason game after eight years without being able to achieve it.



<h2>A wide receiver visits the Steelers</h2>



In recent hours, it was revealed that free agent wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. is making the rounds to find a team and that he visited Tomlin’s Steelers in an attempt to secure his arrival to the Pittsburgh team.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250326_BUS_364214_Terrace-Marshall-1024x576_5f9ec4d8.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Terrace Marshall" class="wp-image-364299" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26130126/Terrace-Marshall-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26130126/Terrace-Marshall-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26130126/Terrace-Marshall-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26130126/Terrace-Marshall-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26130126/Terrace-Marshall-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26130126/Terrace-Marshall-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26130126/Terrace-Marshall-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26130126/Terrace-Marshall.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Terrace Marshall, former player of the Carolina Panthers</figcaption></figure>



Additionally, journalist Aaron Wilson from KPRC reports that Marshall will visit the Tennessee Titans. The 24-year-old wide receiver played last season for the Las Vegas Raiders after three years with the Carolina Panthers. In 2024, he recorded three receptions for 41 yards in seven games.

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



The story of Rodgers and the Steelers is an unpredictable one. The veteran quarterback is waiting to make a final decision on whether to accept or reject the offer from the Steelers, who have him in their sights at quarterback. The 41-year-old free agent is expected to make an announcement soon.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="67e433e8e70a37cf6214844d" data-title="Which team will Aaron Rodgers play for?" data-options="3"></div>


In the meantime, Russell Wilson, the starting quarterback for Pittsburgh last week, signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants, further clearing the way for Rodgers to take the central role in Tomlin’s team. It’s clear that the black &amp; gold team didn’t want to make an attempt for Russ due to various factors such as injuries or differences in opinion with offensive coach Arthur Smith.

miniaturas

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> wanted to stay with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>. Despite signing a one-year contract with the New York Giants, a report by Gerry Dulac confirms that the quarterback’s intentions were always to continue playing for Mike Tomlin.



The insider notes that Wilson waited as long as possible to achieve his goal. “Russell Wilson wanted to remain with the Steelers, right up till the end, before he agreed to a deal with the Giants, per sources.”



However, the Steelers did not consider Russ as an option for the 2025 season, as their priority is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a>. In this scenario, the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> champion with the Seahawks was running out of options.



<h2>Who did Russell Wilson just sign with?</h2>



Russell Wilson will sign a one-year deal with the Giants that could reach $21 million with incentives. The veteran joins a surprising quarterback room alongside Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito.


 

 


Wilson’s decision brings a lot of clarity to the final pieces of the domino effect in the NFL. New York had been interested in Aaron Rodgers, but this move officially takes them out of that race, clearing the way for Pittsburgh.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-has-reportedly-made-retirement-decision-before-signing-with-steelers"></div>


The other places where a starting quarterback could be sought are the Browns or the Titans, but the reality is that those two teams might directly go for a rookie, given that they have the first two picks in the draft.

Aaron Rodgers beyond football: 20 eye-opening facts about him

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> could still change his final decision on signing with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> or the Minnesota Vikings, according to a report by Alec Lewis. Everything will depend on J.J. McCarthy’s performance in the coming months.



“McCarthy has not participated in a team workout since last fall. He’ll have that opportunity this spring and summer, and he seems to understand the magnitude of his performance and disposition. The Vikings have yet to round out their quarterback room with another backup besides Rypien. Until that happens, or until Rodgers signs with Pittsburgh (or retires), his fit with Minnesota cannot be ruled out. Again, this underscores the importance of this spring and summer for McCarthy. The Vikings are hoping he solidifies why they picked him at No.10 over the next few weeks and months.”



For several weeks, Rodgers has been analyzing which team gives him the best opportunity to win the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>. He first showed interest in the Rams, then in the Vikings, but that door closed temporarily, and now it seems that he would be heading to Pittsburgh.



<h2>Is Aaron Rodgers retiring?</h2>



Aaron Rodgers could still consider retirement if he is not comfortable with the plan presented by the Pittsburgh Steelers, or if the Vikings ultimately don’t see him as a better option than J.J. McCarthy.


 

 


Pittsburgh practically has no leverage over Rodgers since there are no other star quarterbacks on the market. However, Minnesota is a completely different story due to the championship-caliber roster they have. If McCarthy fails, Aaron would likely welcome that call.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-has-reportedly-made-his-final-decision-on-signing-with-steelers"></div>


Given this scenario, the big question is how long the quarterback will wait. The Steelers want to sign him now, the Vikings will wait at least until August, and if neither of these options satisfies him, retirement is not off the table.

NFL News: Aaron Rodgers might reportedly change final decision about his next team between Steelers and Vikings

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> offseason saga hasn’t had many updates since his visit to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. But with the Minnesota Vikings leaning on J.J. McCarthy and the New York Giants signing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> on Tuesday, Mike Tomlin and company seem to be in pole position to get the four-time NFL MVP.



However, it appears that waiting for the Vikings or joining the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> wouldn’t be the only options for Rodgers this offseason. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the 41-year-old could still turn Tomlin’s team down to retire or take a break from football.



“It seems that for Rodgers, it’s going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Rapoport said in an appearance on Good Morning Football on Wednesday. “Certainly, the team he visited, certainly the leader in the clubhouse for Aaron Rodgers. Or he’s gonna say, ‘you know what, I’m not gonna play this year,’ or ‘I’m not gonna play right now.’ That’s still up in the air.”



<h2>Rodgers may have to choose between Steelers or retirement</h2>



After a disappointing, two-year tenure with the New York Jets that followed an unforgettable 18-year stint with the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers has a big decision to make late in his career.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250326_BUS_364083_Mike-Tomlin-hugs-Aaron-Rodgers-1024x576_02d453ff.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Russell Wilson #3 and Justin Fields #2 of the Pittsburgh Steelers look on as head coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers #8 of the New York Jets embrace after the game at Acrisure Stadium on October 20, 2024 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania." class="wp-image-362490" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/24113044/Mike-Tomlin-hugs-Aaron-Rodgers-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/24113044/Mike-Tomlin-hugs-Aaron-Rodgers-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/24113044/Mike-Tomlin-hugs-Aaron-Rodgers-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/24113044/Mike-Tomlin-hugs-Aaron-Rodgers-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/24113044/Mike-Tomlin-hugs-Aaron-Rodgers-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/24113044/Mike-Tomlin-hugs-Aaron-Rodgers-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/24113044/Mike-Tomlin-hugs-Aaron-Rodgers-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/24113044/Mike-Tomlin-hugs-Aaron-Rodgers.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Russell Wilson #3 and Justin Fields #2 of the Pittsburgh Steelers look on as head coach Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers #8 of the New York Jets embrace after the game at Acrisure Stadium on October 20, 2024 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.</figcaption></figure>



With the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> taking Wilson after adding Jameis Winston, the option of staying in the Big Apple appears to be off the table. This leaves the Steelers as a strong possibility, given that the Vikings reportedly want to see McCarthy as starter.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-called-favorite-quarterback-by-vikings-star-amid-jj-mccarthy-rumors"></div>

 


Is A-Rod ready to come back for a 21st season in the NFL? Or is he planning to hang them up? It’s still a bit soon to tell, but in the event he decides to continue playing, the Steelers may have the biggest chances to acquire his services.



<h2>Rodgers reportedly feels Tomlin’s Steelers could be similar to Packers</h2>



According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the struggles in New York made Rodgers miss the good old days in Green Bay, where he challenged for multiple titles and won a Super Bowl in 2011.



The report claims that Rodgers sees the Steelers, coached by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Tomlin</a> since 2007 and full of veteran stars, as a team that could make him feel a similar experience to the one he lived with the Packers.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mike-tomlin-net-worth"></div>


“I’ve heard Rodgers is looking for a culture such as the one in Green Bay,” Breer wrote. “I get it if that sounds a little strange after the drama of the four-time MVP’s final years as a Packer. But over the past few months, Rodgers has been open with people around him on his renewed appreciation for what he had for 18 seasons in Wisconsin. Call it a grass-is-greener dynamic if you want, but it definitely has felt, to some of those around him, like spending a couple years as a New York Jet made Rodgers view the situation he had more favorably.



“That’s also one area where the Steelers have an edge—Pittsburgh has a long-established culture, a family-business feel, and stability, just like Green Bay. It also helps, I’d think, that the roster is stocked with decorated veterans such as T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Minkah Fitzpatrick and now DK Metcalf, who are deep into their careers and presumably would carry a similar win-now urgency to Rodgers.“


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="67e411ebe70a37cf62148437" data-title="What should Aaron Rodgers do this offseason?" data-options="3"></div>


A free agent after parting with the Jets, Rodgers’ intentions for the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season remain uncertain. With the Giants ruled out and the Vikings seemingly taking another route, the Steelers could be his most logical landing spot, unless he chooses not to play next year.

NFL Rumors: Aaron Rodgers considers another option apart from Mike Tomlin’s Steelers or Vikings after Giants sign Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson has made his choice and has signed with the New York Giants. The veteran quarterback decided not to wait for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, considering that Mike Tomlin always wanted <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> as his starter.



Now, Wilson will have to compete for the QB1 spot in New York with Jameis Winston, with the big question being whether the Giants will select another quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming draft. For many experts, Russ’s arrival is a sign that by that time, Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders will be off the board.



After bittersweet experiences with the Broncos and Steelers, Russell Wilson will look to make the New York Giants a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> contender again. It’s a task that seems almost impossible in a division alongside the Commanders, Cowboys, and the Eagles.



<h2>Did Russell Wilson sign with the Steelers?</h2>



No. Russell Wilson did not sign with the Steelers because he couldn’t wait for Mike Tomlin to make a final decision. Therefore, with few starting quarterback vacancies left, he chose the Giants.


 

 


In fact, Wilson had also visited the Browns in Cleveland, but according to various reports, the $20 million he was asking for per year was too high a price for Kevin Stefanski’s team.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-has-reportedly-received-a-big-request-from-his-agent-before-signing-with-steelers-or-vikings"></div>


In a very special detail, the quarterback returns to the place where he won the only Super Bowl of his career: MetLife Stadium. On February 2, 2014, the Seahawks defeated the Broncos 43-8, led by Peyton Manning.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="984" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250326_BUS_364061_wilsonmetlife-1024x984_7885fcaf.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=984" alt="" class="wp-image-364071" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26100930/wilsonmetlife-1024x984.jpeg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26100930/wilsonmetlife-300x288.jpeg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26100930/wilsonmetlife-768x738.jpeg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/26100930/wilsonmetlife.jpeg 1180w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>X / @DangeRussWilson</figcaption></figure>



Therefore, Russ’s first message was directly related to that place. The quarterback posted a photo of MetLife Stadium with the following message: “Been here before…can’t wait to do it again.”

Russell Wilson sends first message after choosing Giants over Steelers

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Wilson</a> has secured a new home for the 2025 NFL season. The Super Bowl champion edged out <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> in the race to land with a new team, ‘stealing’ his potential destination by signing with an unexpected NFC club.



Last year, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> brought in Russell Wilson to be their starting quarterback. While his performance was decent, it didn’t meet Mike Tomlin’s expectations, leading the team to opt against offering him an extension for the upcoming season.



In free agency, Wilson was competing with Aaron Rodgers as the top veteran quarterbacks available. However, it was ‘DangeRuss’ who secured a landing spot first, joining a team that had also been considering signing Rodgers this offseason.



<h2>Russell Wilson finds new team for 2025, ‘steals’ Aaron Rodgers’ destination</h2>



The New York Giants have signed Russell Wilson to a 1-year, $21 million deal, per ESPN. The club had recently signed Jameis Winston, making it surprising that they opted to add another veteran quarterback this offseason.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-has-reportedly-made-his-final-decision-on-signing-with-steelers"></div>


According to NFL Media, the 10-time Pro Bowler had options with the Giants, Browns, and even the Steelers. However, after Aaron Rodgers visited Pittsburgh last week, Wilson decided to leave the AFC North behind and head to New York.



While the Giants also had their eyes on Aaron Rodgers, head coach Brian Daboll ultimately preferred Russell Wilson. The veteran quarterback is already familiar with success at MetLife Stadium, having won <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> XLVIII there when the Seahawks defeated the Broncos.



The news surprised many, as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/not-russell-wilson-after-aaron-rodgers-visit-to-steelers-giants-sign-another-qb-for-2025-nfl-season" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Winston’s recent arrival</a> was seen as a clear indication that the team had already secured its veteran QB. However, it now appears that Wilson will be the starter while Jameis sits behind him, though questions remain about the Giants’ plans for the 2025 NFL Draft.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250325_BUS_363675_Russell-Wilson-9-1024x576_d0f10d32.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Russell Wilson Pittsburgh Steelers QB" class="wp-image-300347" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/25110035/Russell-Wilson-9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/25110035/Russell-Wilson-9-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/25110035/Russell-Wilson-9-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/25110035/Russell-Wilson-9-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/25110035/Russell-Wilson-9-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/25110035/Russell-Wilson-9-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/25110035/Russell-Wilson-9-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/25110035/Russell-Wilson-9.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Russell Wilson 3 during the Philadelphia Eagles vs Pittsburgh Steelers at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia PA.</figcaption></figure>



The Giants currently hold the 3rd overall selection. The signings of Wilson and Winston suggest that the club might not be fully committed to drafting a quarterback in the first round, potentially waiting until 2026 to acquire a new prospect.



<h2>Who could the Giants draft with the 3rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft?</h2>



As the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a> approaches, many developments have already shifted the landscape, with more changes expected. The Giants’ decision may signal a shift in strategy regarding their first-round selection.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-russell-wilson-reportedly-sent-clear-message-to-steelers-giants-and-browns-before-aaron-rodgers-final-decision"></div>


It appears that New York could now go in a different direction and select either Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter at No. 3 overall. With the Titans and Browns expected to draft quarterbacks, the Giants have seemingly anticipated this scenario by securing Russell Wilson.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="67e33a0de70a37cf62148411" data-title="Should the Giants still draft a QB at No. 3 overall this year?" data-options="2"></div>

NFL News: Russell Wilson beats Aaron Rodgers to the punch and signs with a surprising NFC team

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> are weighing their options for the starting quarterback job. Following Aaron Rodgers’ visit to the club last week, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Wilson</a> has sent a strong message to Mike Tomlin and the front office.



A few years ago, the Steelers had a lot of stability at the quarterback position with Ben Roethlisberger. However, the retirement of the future Hall of Famer in 2022 left a huge gap in the AFC North club that they have not been able to fill properly.



Last year, the club acquired Russell Wilson on a 1-year deal. It was rumored that he could sign an extension this offseason, but <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a>‘ visit last week has now fueled speculation about Wilson’s possible exit from the club.



<h2>Russell Wilson sends message on social media after Aaron Rodgers’ visit to Steelers</h2>



The Steelers need to address a very important matter this offseason. The club currently doesn’t have a solid option for the starting quarterback job, but there are a few players on the table for them.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-rumors-the-reason-brian-dabolls-giants-opted-to-sign-jameis-winston-before-russell-wilson-and-its-not-aaron-rodgers"></div>


Russell Wilson finished his contract with Pittsburgh at the end of the 2024 NFL season. He had a decent campaign with the Steelers, yet it may not be enough to convince the club to offer him an extension.



In recent days, rumors of the Steelers being interested in Aaron Rodgers intensified. These suggestions became a reality when the former Jets player visited the club last Friday, prompting Russell Wilson to react to the surprising news.



“Relentless Confidence,” Wilson wrote on X. “Don’t ever stop believing in you!” The post came after the news of Aaron Rodgers’ visit to Pittsburgh, where he met with Mike Tomlin to assess if it is a good fit for both sides.

While Aaron Rodgers left the facilities without a contract, this is a clear message that Wilson doesn’t see himself returning to Pittsburgh. He has drawn interest from other clubs, yet he has not signed a contract with any team.



<h2>Where will Russell Wilson play in 2025?</h2>



The future of Russell Wilson is highly uncertain. The Steelers could still re-sign him, but their recent interest in Aaron Rodgers has led fans to believe they will move on from Wilson this offseason.

As the Giants have already signed Jameis Winston, the options are not too many for Russell Wilson. According to reports, he could stay in the AFC North with the Browns, a club he recently visited to explore a potential deal for the upcoming campaign.

The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly ready to hand the reins of the offense to J.J. McCarthy, who spent the entire 2024 NFL season on the sidelines. But with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> still available, the quarterback situation in Minnesota remains uncertain.



The speculation only increased on Tuesday, with one of the team’s best players showing nothing but praise for the 4x NFL MVP. During an interview with Kay Adams, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings">Vikings</a> safety Harrison Smith admitted that he’s a big admirer of Rodgers.



“I would say Rodgers has been, you know, I played against him my whole career. He’s always my favorite quarterback to watch, and also my least favorite quarterback, because he’s very tough to defend. I’m not going to speculate on that, but I have a very great appreciation for him and his talent,” Smith said on the ‘Up &amp; Adams’ show.



Smith, 36, faced Rodgers countless times throughout his career, playing the Green Bay Packers every year in the NFC North since the Vikings selected him in the first round of the 2012 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> Draft.

<h2>Smith confident in Vikings’ chances for 2025</h2>



The rivalry on the field also led to mutual respect off of it, which is why Smith isn’t hiding his admiration for Rodgers regardless of the ongoing rumors. The 6x Pro Bowler, however, made it clear that he already likes the group the Vikings have for 2025.


 

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

 


“I’ve given it (retirement) thought for years. There will be a day that I’m done, it’s getting closer everyday… I like what we did in free agency. I think we have a great group, great coaching, great leadership, and I wanted to be apart of it,” said Smith, who agreed to come back for a 14th NFL season.



<h2>McCarthy’s recent comments fuel Rodgers rumors</h2>



When it looked like the team had already made a decision at the position, it appears that Minnesota could still make a change at quarterback. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-remains-a-possibility-for-the-vikings-after-jj-mccarthys-latest-comments">McCarthy’s latest comments suggest that Rodgers remains a possibility</a> for the Vikings.

“They haven’t told me, and I’m happy they didn’t, because I try to earn it every single day,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jj-mccarthy">McCarthy</a> told Kay Adams when asked if the Vikings told him he would start. “I never want that to be given to me. It’s such a privilege and an opportunity to give me that chance, I’m just gonna make the most of it every single day.”

NFL News: Aaron Rodgers called ‘favorite quarterback’ by Vikings star amid JJ McCarthy rumors

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a>‘ saga seems to have no end during the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> offseason. The Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants appear to be the most likely teams to acquire the 42-year-old quarterback, but a comment from JJ McCarthy could bring the Minnesota Vikings back into the conversation.



Days ago, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota</a> confirmed McCarthy as one of the quarterbacks to be considered for the upcoming season. However, this confirmation does not rule out other potential interests the franchise may have, such as the possible addition of free agent Rodgers.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jj-mccarthy">McCarthy</a> suffered a knee injury during his rookie season in 2024. In November, he underwent surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee, which kept him out for the remainder of the season. The young quarterback has made a bold statement about his chances for the upcoming campaign.



<h2>McCarthy’s message about his starting role in 2025</h2>



“Vikings haven’t told me I’m the starter. I’m happy they didn’t because I try to earn it every single day. I never want that to be given to me. It’s such a privilege and opportunity to give me that chance and I’m just gonna make the most of it every single day,” McCarthy said in an interview on Up and Adams. What’s unique about this statement is that it brings attention back to Rodgers’ situation.

<h2>Could Rodgers join the Vikings?</h2>



Various sources, including NFL insider Mike Florio, have suggested that the Vikings could reconsider signing Rodgers later in the preseason. The interest stems from an emergency plan in case McCarthy doesn’t meet the requirements to be the starter and his situation becomes more complicated.

<h2>What are the Vikings’ plans for McCarthy?</h2>



Despite considering Rodgers in case of an emergency, the Vikings would have full confidence in McCarthy. “Minnesota is comfortable enough with McCarthy to risk Rodgers signing with the New York Giants or Pittsburgh Steelers, or simply retiring. The Vikings’ moves in the last couple of months indicate they strongly believe in McCarthy’s trajectory,” said NFL insider Alec Lewis from The Athletic.
