“No one should sign him this offseason" - Nick Wright delivers his verdict on Aaron Rodgers' situation
NFL analyst Nick Wright believes that no team should sign QB Aaron Rodgers this offseason. While appearing on the popular show 'First Things First', Wright outlined his belief that some NFL teams should avoid committing to Rodgers for the 2025 season.
"No one should sign him this offseason. He is very clear and seemingly being honest, he has a ton going on in his personal life. The reason he doesn't want to commit to a team right now is he thinks it would be unfair when he has this much going on in his personal life. And what I was reading there is he doesn't know what part of the offseason he's going to be available for because of the things going on in his personal life, and didn't want to sign with the team and then miss stuff."
Rodgers recently appeared on the Pat McAfee show to outline how he is not close to signing with any NFL franchise at the current moment and has been dealing with various important family situations since the end of the 2024 campaign.
However, in the media appearance, Rodgers detailed how he had good discussions with Brian Daboll, Mike Tomlin, and Kevin O'Connell this offseason, not all about a contract but just about football in general.
Will Aaron Rodgers play in the 2025 season?
Rodgers appears to have an interest in playing football during the 2025 season, but was clear that he needs to deal with the ongoing familial situations before he can fully focus on the NFL.
Should he return next season, Rodgers will be looking to improve off a disappointing campaign by his elite standards. However, he performed well at the end of the year, averaging 254 passing yards and having nine touchdowns in the final five games of the season.
Although Rodgers confirmed that he is not close to signing with any NFL team just yet, he did make clear that he enjoyed his passing session with Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf. With Rodgers already meeting with the Steelers this offseason and throwing with Metcalf, it appears as though Rodgers is closest to signing in Pittsburgh compared to other NFL franchises around the league.
