Aaron Rodgers is “in no rush at all” to make a free agent decision, according to a source close to the situation. The four-time MVP quarterback was reportedly interested in signing with the Minnesota Vikings but they’re not interested in signing him and instead plan to start J.J. McCarthy for the 2025 NFL season.
The Vikings made a major investment in McCarthy last offseason but he’s yet to play due to a meniscus tear suffered during preseason. The Giants and Steelers are still willing to sign Rodgers, who has been the best quarterback option on the market. The Giants believe they’re at the bottom of the list of teams Rodgers is considering, but are willing to meet his financial demands.
Both teams want improved quarterback play, with the Giants looking to help their general manager and head coach save their jobs after a poor offense led to only nine wins in the past two years. Unlike the Steelers, who have bolstered their passing game with the addition of DK Metcalf, the Giants plan to draft a quarterback with the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The New York Jets recently signed Justin Fields, but Rodgers remains the top target for the Steelers.
The Vikings’ decision not to sign Rodgers has left him as one of the few quarterbacks still on the market. With his impressive passing yards and touchdowns, Rodgers is a valuable asset that teams are willing to invest in. However, he’s taking his time to decide on his future, leaving fans wondering when they’ll see him back on the field.
