- NFL. Shedeur Sanders' final social media post before draft paints bleak picture for first round
- NFL. Shedeur Sanders strongly defended by NFL analyst who calls out "tasteless" haters and critics
One of the biggest storylines that never came to fruition during free agency was where Aaron Rodgers would end up. After the New York Jets parted ways with the 41-year-old quarterback, Rodgers began assessing his options. In a different time period, Rodgers would have signed with another team immediately. But Rodgers has proven to be a polarizing figure, and he's not getting any younger.
Over the past month or so, the main teams that have popped as possible destinations for Rodgers are as follows: Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. All three have reasons to sign him, as well as reasons to not do so. But there's another factor to Rodgers landing with a team: Whether he actually wants to play or not. Rodgers continues to deliver ambiguous answers when asked about his future, and practically everyone appears sick of it.
Marcus Spears doesn't understand why teams are waiting on Aaron Rodgers to make a decision
ESPN's Marcus Spears went off on every organization who is considering g Rodgers in a pre-draft show on Thursday. Spears simply doesn't understand why any franchise would be waiting on him to make a decision: "It's not worth it".
Spears was also adamant that Rodgers ing the Steelers wouldn't get Pittsburgh into the Super Bowl. Given that sentiment, he really believes that Pittsburgh needs to take a serious look at a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. They have been linked to Shedeur Sanders.
As for the other teams who have shown interest in Rodgers, only the Vikings have a real shot at the Super Bowl. The Giants are a ways away and don't make much sense as a landing spot, despite being a big market team. The Vikings have closed the door on Rodgers for now, but it could open closer to the regular season.
