The NFL offseason is going to have a lot of unpredictability. One of the things this offseason that will be fascinating to watch for is what will Aaron Rodgers do with his career.
Will he retire from the league or will he have a new home for the 2025 season and beyond? The New York Jets will be moving on from him and we will see what they do at the quarterback position. Aaron Rodgers wants to prove to other teams that he still has something left in the tank.
NFL.com Writer Nick Shook Thinks One Landing Spot For Aaron Rodgers Could Be Las Vegas Raiders
NFL.com writer Nick Shook created four potential landing spots for where Aaron Rodgers could be playing next year. One spot that Rodgers could be next season is the Las Vegas Raiders. Shook said:
“This would obviously be a hilariously fitting outcome for all of us who have tracked the Rodgers saga over the last five years, especially when considering Rodgers once watched his pal Davante Adams traded to Las Vegas in 2022 to play with his college buddy, Derek Carr, stranding Rodgers with a young cast of pass-catchers who ended up influencing his decision to leave for New York. Time is a flat circle, or whatever, right? But this pairing actually makes sense for a few reasons: Tom Brady’s minority ownership seems to carry a ton of influence over the organization, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he pushed the Raiders to pursue a fellow legend who, like Brady, needed a new home to finish out his career. The Raiders have a new regime led by Pete Carroll with zero connection to Aidan O’Connell, clearing a path for them to pursue a new signal-caller, but because they won their way out of a top-five pick, it’s less certain they’ll land one in this draft than it was in early December. Why not add a bridge in Rodgers for a one-year stint to protect against the situation they found themselves in last season? Sure, it’ll attract attention, but the Raiders have never been a shy franchise. Plus, it’ll likely go better than that one-year trial went with Matt Schaub back in 2014.”
The Las Vegas Raiders will have the sixth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. There is a chance that the Raiders will not be able to get Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward in the 2025 NFL Draft. It will be interesting to see what Las Vegas does at quarterback during the offseason.
Aaron Rodgers would be an upgrade from what they have over the last season or so. He completed 63.0% of his passes for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Rodgers is 41 years old.
Other Options
If the Raiders do not sign Rodgers, they could sign Sam Darnold or make a trade. Darnold outside of Rodgers will be the hottest name on the market this offseason if he doesn’t go back to the Minnesota Vikings.
The Las Vegas Raiders will need to win games next year and try to compete for a playoff spot. Signing Aaron Rodgers would get them closer to that spot.
