Free Agency Rumor: What To Believe When It Comes To Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer.

His future remains in question.

He has been linked to the Steelers, Giants, Vikings, and possibly retirement.

The Athletic strongly suggests he wants to go to Minnesota and is waiting to see if the Vikings are interested.

What To Believe When It Comes To Aaron Rodgers

Despite The Athletic’s report, they do not truly know what Rodgers wants.

As good of an NFL insider Russini is, she does not have the best relationship with Rodgers. Rodgers has publicly called her out.

In November, while on The Pat McAfee Show, McAfee was discussing a report of Russini about Rodgers.

Rodgers said, “I don’t talk to that person.”

"It's all true 😂😂😂

I don't talk to that person and my circle is really small..

I don't have a relationship with reporters who are gonna break stories like that" @AaronRodgers12 #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/nfcetjsbT6

Rodgers would not tell anything to Dianna Russini and he has a small close circle.

Wherever she gets her information, it is not from Rodgers or anyone in his inner circle.

Russini and her Athletic colleagues are not among Rodgers’ trusted people.

NFL reporter Benjamin Allbright posted on X in response to a post “I’ll be more blunt. The Vikings have no interest in Aaron Rodgers despite his interest in them.”

I’ll be more blunt. The Vikings have no interest in Aaron Rodgers despite his interest in them.

Once again, Allbright does not truly know if Aaron Rodgers is interested in the Vikings.

All these reports from NFL reporters/insiders are all just speculation.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler stated the Steelers and Giants both have offers on the table for Rodgers and are waiting for a decision. He also stated the Vikings remain a fringe contender to sign Rodgers but appear to be focusing more on second-year QB J.J. McCarthy.

CBS Sports’ Aditi Kinkhabwala said on 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh that only two to four people know what is going on with Rodgers.

Russell Wilson Still Waiting To Be Signed

While the NFL world waits for Rodgers to make a decision, another Hall of Fame QB, Russell Wilson, waits to be signed as well.

Wilson is also linked to the Steelers and Giants. If the Steelers do not land Rodgers, Wilson is the backup plan for the Steelers.

Once Rodgers is signed, Wilson will soon be offered a contract from the Steelers and/or the Giants.

Nobody truly knows anything and all these NFL insiders/reporters are just guessing as to what Rodgers wants.
