The NFL’s free agency period is just around the corner with some intriguing names set to hit the open market, including Sam Darnold, Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson.
Rodgers is coming off his second year with the New York Jets, having recently been released from the organization.
During the 2024 season, Rodgers passed for 28 touchdowns and 3,897 yards with a 63.0 completion percentage as the Jets finished 5-12. The year prior, Rodgers was sidelined with an Achilles injury.
As Rodgers looks to test the free agency waters, potentially joining the third team of his legendary career, a recent prediction by Zack Rosenblatt at The Athletic tied the former Jets quarterback to the New York Giants.
Rosenblatt predicts Rodgers will sign with the Giants and the team will also draft Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart to learn behind the veteran signal-caller.
While Rodgers is on the tail end of his career, he seemed to have gas in the tank last season. A move to the Giants would allow Rodgers to stay planted in New York while joining an organization that struggled while starting Daniel Jones, Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock last season.
The Jets may have struggled yet again, but the Giants had an abysmal year in 2024, finishing the season with a 3-14 record, winning just one game at MetLife Stadium.
Rodgers would have a couple of decent options in the Giants’ receiving corps with Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson. Nabers finished his rookie season with 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns while Robinson contributed 93 catches for 699 yards and three TDs.
Free agency begins on March 12.
