If Aaron Rodgers doesn’t return to the New York Jets in 2025, here are five potential landing spots for the veteran quarterback:
1. Seattle Seahawks: With Geno Smith’s contract ending, Seattle could seek a short-term, experienced quarterback to maintain competitiveness in the NFC West. Rodgers would benefit from a talented receiver group featuring D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba【16】.
2. Las Vegas Raiders: Tom Brady’s part-ownership and the need for quarterback stability make this a plausible destination, given Rodgers’ experience and the Raiders’ offensive tools【16】.
3. Tennessee Titans: With uncertainty surrounding Ryan Tannehill and Will Levis, Tennessee could look to Rodgers to guide a rebuilding offense【16】.
4. Minnesota Vikings: If Kirk Cousins departs, Rodgers moving within the NFC North could provide a strong narrative and leadership for a talented Vikings roster【16】.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Still searching for stability post-Brady, Rodgers could find a warm climate and offensive talent like Chris Godwin to prolong his career【16】.
