Aaron Rodgers dropped hints about his NFL future during a live interview last weekend, fueling speculation about his potential destination in the 2025 season. The Green Bay Packers quarterback was asked if he’d ever play for the Chicago Bears and smiled when saying, “No, but I believe there’s a team that might play in Chicago this year for a road trip.” Rodgers refused to name the team, citing uncertainty.
However, it appears that one team is more likely than others. Pittsburgh, a destination Rodgers has long been rumored to join, will indeed visit Chicago during Week 12 of the 2025 season. The Steelers’ schedule was confirmed by NFL sources, but Rodgers didn’t directly address the speculation.
Meanwhile, the Bears are preparing for the upcoming season, reportedly ready to hand over the starting quarterback job to J.J. McCarthy after a strong showing earlier this year. New Orleans will also visit Chicago, but it’s unclear if they’ll be in contention for Rodgers’ services.
Rodgers’ comments come as he navigates his personal life, revealing that someone close to him is dealing with cancer and must take precedence over his NFL decision-making process. He remains tight-lipped about his future, saying, “I am trying to be open to everything and not specifically attached to anything when it comes to this decision.”
