Aaron Rodgers has been linked with the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers for much of the offseason, but one source believes it has all come down to just one team.
Rodgers recently spent two seasons with the New York Jets and they parted ways after last season, leaving the 41-year-old quarterback looking for a new team to continue the second half of his NFL career.

Everything points to the Steelers being able to land the veteran QB
A recent article by Mike Florio in Pro Football Network revealed who the favorite is to sign Rodgers. Florio mentioned that he believes the “safe bet” for Rodgers to continue his career is to sign with the Steelers.
“Either way, all signs point to Rodgers arriving in Pittsburgh in 2025,” Florio said. “Could it change? Yes. Again, it’s a ‘safe bet’ that it won’t.”
Rodgers visited the Steelers on Friday, as Florio mentioned, so it seems the prediction has some substance.
Last season, the Steelers posted a 10-8 record, including a playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, led by 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson finished the season with 16 touchdowns and 2,482 yards.
Rodgers must decide where to aim
Rodgers led the Jets to a 5-12 record, recording 28 touchdowns and 3,897 yards with a 63.0 percent completion percentage.
While Rodgers is clearly in the second half of his career, he could make an immediate impact on the Steelers, who have the weapons to have a quality offense.
Pittsburgh recently acquired wide receiver DK Metcalf and already has rising star George Pickens on its roster, so a union between Rodgers and the Steelers seems like a good fit for both parties.
