Aaron Rodgers and Maxx Crosby were close to being teammates. In fact, Crosby lobbied for Rodgers to join him in Las Vegas more than once. However, now based on his insider knowledge, Crosby thinks he knows that Rodgers’ next move is.
Aaron Rodgers Sees Maxx Crosby Boldy Claim What His Next Move Is (Breaking)
Maxx Crosby took to a podcast to reveal what he believes will be Aaron Rodgers’ next move:
On March 27, Crosby declared during The Rush Podcast: “I think he retires. I think the fact that he’s not with Davante (Adams) and he’s not very familiar with Pittsburgh, I don’t know. I think he retires. He’s about 42 now. I would like that… I can’t see him in a Pittsburgh uniform.” The statement sent shockwaves through the league. Why?
Because Crosby had previously lobbied for Rodgers to join the Raiders. Now, he’s convinced the 41-year-old QB is done—despite Pittsburgh’s glaring need for a veteran signal-caller. Meanwhile, Rodgers, who turns 42 in December, hasn’t hinted at retirement publicly.
But his silence speaks volumes. Since visiting the Steelers on March 24, he’s stayed quieter than a golf crowd during Tiger Woods’ backswing. Meanwhile, teams like the Giants and Vikings have moved on, leaving Pittsburgh as Rodgers’ lone potential suitor.
There is some validity to Crosby’s skepticism. In systems where he is the undisputed alpha, surrounded by trusted targets, Rodgers thrives. He depended on Davante Adams for security in Green Bay. In Pittsburgh? DK Metcalf and George Pickens are talented, but they’re not Adams. “My brain can’t put that together,” Crosby admitted.
The longer Rodgers waits to make a decision, the more retire talks will grow. Despite New York’s record, Rodgers still had a respectable 2024 season:
