The New York Jets were hopeful that Aaron Rodgers would be the quarterback to finally get them over the hump. In typical Jets fashion, New York didn’t find much success with him under center.
While there were multiple reasons for that, Rodgers getting hurt likely changed everything. Had he been on the field for two years, things might’ve been different.
That’s over with and the Jets will have to hope they figure it out in the future. However, for Rodgers, he has a decision to make.
Some have suggested he’ll land with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but according to Mike Florio of NFL Network, other believe he wants to play for the Minnesota Vikings.
“I had somebody suggest to me yesterday, and I’m just sharing what I heard, what this person’s opinion is. It’s not a fact. It’s not a report. But it’s somebody who is in the ecosystem and isn’t a low-level employee. This is a high-level person with one of the teams,” Florio said.
“The opinion is he doesn’t really want to play for the Steelers, and he’s waiting for Minnesota.”

While Florio highlighted that this isn’t a report, there could be some truth to what he said. Given that Rodgers has yet to make a decision, he could be holding out in the hope that the Vikings will give him a look.
On the outside, the Vikings look to be in a better position than the Steelers. Pittsburgh is always a playoff team, but typically loses early in the postseason.
The Vikings haven’t exactly been a great team, but they played well in 2024 and could be a Rodgers type of quarterback away from winning it all.
