Four-time NFL MVP and future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers might be staying in New York after all. According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, the New York Giants are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Rodgers as part of their efforts to upgrade the QB position.
Rodgers is set to become a free agent this offseason after spending two years with the New York Jets. Despite questions surrounding his desire to continue playing, he has been recently dropping hints about returning in 2025 if he finds the right fit.
After being limited to just four plays in 2023 due to an Achilles injury, Rodgers played all 17 games in 2024. However, he was far from his usual self, completing 63% of his passes and throwing for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while the Jets went 5-12.
Due to his decline last year, Rodgers is considered a budget option for the Giants as he likely wouldn’t command a big contract. He can help them win now while also mentoring a young quarterback in case the franchise decides to take one with the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Giants pursued Matthew Stafford in recent weeks, but the veteran signal-caller opted to restructure his contract with the Los Angeles Rams instead of pushing for a trade. They reportedly also have their eyes on several other free-agent quarterbacks as an alternative to Rodgers including Sam Darnold and Russell Wilson.
