Former New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has shared two key qualities he is seeking in his next team

As the NFL Scouting Combine approaches, Aaron Rodgers is expected to play a wild-card role in the quarterback carousel. If Rodgers wishes to continue his career after his expected release from New York, he will need to find a club willing to give him a shot. TMZ interviewed Rodgers, who appeared chipper after a workout, to understand his factors in considering a new club.


Aaron Rodgers is seeking a new team after two disappointing years with the New York Jets.He has shown promise in his only full year with the Jets, completing 368 passes in 584 attempts, accumulating 3,897 yards, 28 touchdown passes, and 11 interceptions in the 2024 season. However, any potential signing must meet specific requirements.
Numbers like this put him in the presence of the elite in the NFL, even with the disappointing season of the Jets at 5-12; far removed from any chance of playoffs. Still, he has no intention of retiring from football; instead, he has already put out what he expects from any team that may show interest in signing him.
Rodgers was concise yet assertive in expressing his requirements for team membership. "If they want you," he said to TMZ. "If they have a good team." In 2024, Rodgers' performance was inconsistent, with his classic arm being overshadowed by a less mobile QB. He didn't elevate the Jets offense as he had in Green Bay. The club may believe Rodgers can return to his Pro Bowl form as he recovers from the 2023 Achilles injury, but at what cost?

The Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Rams may be interested in Rodgers' services during free agency on March 12, as rumors suggest they may be releasing Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Rumors suggest that the Los Angeles and Las Vegas cases are harder to prove due to the Rams' ongoing marriage to Matthew Stafford and the Raiders' potential interest in drafting Shedeur Sanders.

Aaron Rodgers will have to manage an ambiguous course when faced with the specter of a 2025 NFL free agency scenario. The Rams joined the list of possible ancillary locations should the scenario be right for him. For the time being, the future of Rodgers lies in limbo, just like all the complicated maneuvering in the constantly changing face of the NFL landscape.
