Aaron Rodgers has at least one fan in Raidersville.
Star defensive end Max Crosby said “Rush” on his podcast I prefer that Raiders add Rodgers to their 2025 roster.
Crosby is confident that Rodgers will play like his old self, which will be his second season since torn Achilles with the Jets in 2023.
“Achilles' first year is one of the hardest things,” Crosby said of the show's devastating injuries. “You saw it happening with (Falcons quarterback) Kirk (cousin). Kirk had a down year. It happened with Aaron. He struggled early on, but he got better as the season progressed.
“I think he needs to retire with all the doubts and all the negativity around Aaron Rodgers, that kind of thing, he needs to be cut by the Jets – I think he'll come back. I know he's 41, but I think he'll have a big year this year. I hope it's in our town.”
Rodgers was previously rumored to land in Los Angeles and play for the Rams if he moved from quarterback Matthew Stafford.
That's no longer an option as Stafford agreed to return to Los Angeles on an improved deal.
With Rogers' potential destinations diminishing, his most likely remaining destinations are the titans that, along with the Steelers, Raiders and Titans, are the giants that are preferred by one bet odds maker.
Rodgers could be a package deal with former Packers and Jets teammate Davante Adams, offering an additional bonus to teams looking to improve their offensive roster.
Adams played for Las Vegas last season before being shipped to the Jets.
The Raiders certainly got into the mix for a veteran quarterback and were also interested in Stafford.
Even Rodgers, 41, took a step away from what the Raiders had last year as Las Vegas entered the season with Gardner Minshew at quarterback.
Minshew was injured early in the season. Aidan O'Connell and Desmond's Ridder also got some snaps for the 4-13 Raiders.
