Aaron Rodgers gets 100% real on playing for Saints in future as 4x MVP drags Steelers decision
Aaron Rodgers is the biggest free agent still unsigned by an NFL franchise. While he has been rumored to be heading to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, nothing has been officially confirmed or signed at this time. As a result, some NFL fans are still wondering whether Rodgers will change his mind about the Steelers and look to join another team.
A New Orleans Saints fan asked Rodgers earlier in the week whether he would consider joining the Saints this offseason to help turn the iconic franchise around.
"You are a free agent now. Would you ever consider playing for the Saints and making us [New Orleans Saints] great again." the fan asked Rodgers.
However, Rodgers did not seem too interested in joining New Orleans this year.
"No. That's the answer. I played there a couple times, but no. The answer is no." Rodgers responded in a somewhat jokingly way.
The interaction was posted on the social media platform X by NFL analyst Jack Sperry on May 24.
Despite the question by the fan, it looks extremely unlikely that the Saints would truly consider Aaron Rodgers for their starting QB role in 2025 anyway. The franchise drafted Louisville QB Tyler Shough in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft and seems intent on having a QB competition between Shough and Spencer Rattler this offseason.
Where will Aaron Rodgers play football in 2025?
At this time, it is still unclear whether Aaron Rodgers will sign with an NFL team this offseason or call it a career. With the NFL draft in the past and the 2025 season quickly approaching, Rodgers is at the point now where he needs to decide what his plans are.
The Steelers' current QB options are Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Skylar Thompson. While all are capable players, none are inspiring options for a team with playoff aspirations.
While Howard may be a solid QB in the future, he needs time to develop into the NFL style of game. Aaron Rodgers presents Pittsburgh with the best chance to win in 2025, the question is, will he sign with the franchise or retire?
