Without a doubt, Aaron Rodgers is the biggest name remaining on the NFL’s free agent market. To be honest, he was always the biggest name on that list. Four league MVP Awards and a Pro Football Hall of Fame career is more than enough to make one the biggest name on just about any list.
But despite his career accomplishments, Rodgers found that he did not have a very strong market. The New York Jets, of course, did not want him and released him with a post-June 1 designation. The New York Giants, tired of waiting, signed Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson to lead their quarterback room.
In perhaps the most embarrassing development, Rodgers reached out to the Minnesota Vikings, offering to be a bridge quarterback for them for a year and help mentor/develop JJ McCarthy.
They turned him down.
Despite the fact that there were/are other teams in need of a quality starting quarterback in 2025, Rodgers has garnered interest from only team: the Pittsburgh Steelers.
However, has not signed a contract with them. Yet.
By his own admission, Rodgers is focusing on some other heavy things going on in his personal life. However, he did meet with the Steelers at their facility, and he did have a private throwing session with DK Metcalf, the two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Pittsburgh acquired via trade earlier this offseason.
Indeed, all signs point to the future Hall of Famer donning the black and yellow this season. But as offseason programs have begun, fans have become even more impatient than they were before.
