NFL | Aaron Rodgers still in holding pattern

Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) told ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ on Thursday, April 17, that he is ‘open to anything and attached to nothing’ as it relates to his playing status for the 2025 season. He cited ‘personal matters’ as the primary reason why he has yet to decide on his future, which likely includes signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers or announcing his retirement – both of which appear to be very much on the table for him.

‘I have a couple people in my inner, inner circle who are battling some difficult stuff. So, I have a lot of things that are taking my attention and have since the beginning of January away from football. That’s where I have been focusing most of my attention on. To make a commitment to a team is a big thing, whether you are a first-year player or 20-year vet. … I’ve been straight up with these teams from the start about where I was at. Starting with the money thing, I told every single one of the teams that I was talking to that it ain’t about the money. I’ll play for ($10 million per season). I don’t care. … I wasn’t stringing anyone along. I wasn’t holding anybody hostage. … So, yeah, I’m open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility but right now my focus has been and will continue to be my personal life. That’s what I’ve told the coaches,’ Rodgers said.
