#1 - Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos have been most closely associated with trade rumors involving Aaron Rodgers. Their roster is built to win now, but they are just missing a quarterback. Rodgers would make them instant Super Bowl contenders. They also recently signed Nathaniel Hackett as their head coach, who was recently Rodgers' offensive coordinator in Green Bay.
#2 - Indianapolis Colts
There have been multiple reports that the Indianapolis Colts might be looking to move on from Carson Wentz during the 2022 NFL offseason after they failed to make the playoffs last year. Rodgers would be a massive upgrade from Wentz, transforming the Colts from playoff contenders to Super Bowl contenders.
