The free agency market for 41-year-old NFL players is usually not good. However, he is not often a 41-year-old Hall of Fame quarterback.
So, when former Packer and now former Jet Aaron Rodgers officially appear on the market, he will have several suitors, regardless of how much grey the whiskers are. Didn't the Jets have a bad year last year? Have you washed Rogers?
Perhaps, however, the Jets have a terrible year almost every year. Some of it is in Rogers, but not all. Certainly, Rogers started out in a rough and really rough manner. Still, as the years went by, he got better. The old Aaron Rodgers is gone, but the ghost of A-Rod remains, and if he is in the right situation, he may still help someone.
This is the three best places he can land.
New York Giants
Rogers didn't even have to sell his house for this move. The Giants are not a perfect candidate at this time, but Malik Nabels shows a flash of light that will become the NFL's next big wide receiver, and the most accurate passerby in NFL history (even his older versions) benefits him a big profit It could lead to. The Giants last year had a great player walked by their division rivals and saw him run to the Super Bowl Championship. I'm sure Giants' Brass wants nothing more than taking a quarterback from his MetLife Stadium roommate and oriented his team.
Brian Daball and Joe Shane were not fired to surprise at the end of the season. Still, they need to win now. Otherwise, you will definitely be fired next year. New York currently owns the third overall pick and can land Camward's Shedale Sanders in the draft. But the rookie is a hit or miss. Teams that need to win quickly may benefit more from using that draft pick to meet one of many needs and handing over governance to a veteran quarterback.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Unlike the Giants, the Steelers are in a much better position to compete, especially if they get a strong veteran quarterback. Neither Russell Wilson nor Justin Fields are the future for that team. Not Rogers, but he would be an upgrade that makes a lot of sense. Pittsburgh can spend their first or second round picks on players with high upsides who don't have to play their first year, and it could be a big benefit to spending a year later on with Rodgers.
One possible point could be Steelers receiver George Pickens. George Pickens is a perfect headcase despite his incredible abilities. If he chooses between the Giants and Steelers, Rodgers may choose Nabel, who is more sane than he looks. But who knows? Unlike the Jets, the Steelers, like the Packers, are well-run franchises. Rogers may decide that sane people will make Pickens and his antics worthwhile.
Minnesota Viking
Now enter the Twilight Zone. As Rogers went to the Vikings, he headed out in the same Green Bay to New York, travelling the Minnesota roads that his predecessor, Brett Fabre, had travelled years ago.
Is that a good move?
The Vikings are far best teams on this list and are most prepared to run the Deep Super Bowl. Rodgers has a great coach, perhaps the best wide receiver in the game, a stout line and a run game, and more. So will the Vikings move for Rogers?
It's unlikely.
There are a lot of Vikings like JJ McCarthy. Don't forget that McCarthy was pushing Darnold for his first job before an injury that sidelined his rookie season. To keep Darnold out of the way, Minnesota is more likely to put faith on the players who spent the first round of picks instead of bringing in their previous dislike rivals trying to end his career. Masu.
All of this is that Rodgers still loves football and wants to play. Only he knows the answer to that question. However, one thing that makes me feel very comfortable is: Aaron Rodgers doesn't want to end the way his career ended in New York.
