The Aaron Rodgers debate rages on but one voice is loud and clear in his corner—his former backup, Jordan Love. The Green Bay Packers current starting quarterback recently spoke about Rodgers’ potential return for 2025 and thinks he’s got some more in the tank.
Jordan Love Weighs in on Aaron Rodgers’ Future
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love spoke with Kay Adams on Thursday about Aaron Rodgers’ uncertain future. Love thinks he’s still got some more years left.
“That was my guy coming into the league so I’d hate to see him go,” Love said. “But he’s had an amazing, amazing career – definitely a Hall of Famer. We’ll see. I don’t think he’s done.”
Love’s comments come as the world waits with bated breath to see if Rodgers will return for the 2025 season or hang up his cleats for good. He was mum on his plans during his recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, but did leave the door open for retirement—albeit not fully.
Rodgers’ Latest on His NFL Future
On the show, Rodgers said he’s keeping all options open.
“I’m open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility.”
He also said personal stuff is a big part of his decision making. He’s taking his time and hasn’t been pressured by the Pittsburgh Steelers or any other team to rush.
Rodgers said he’s not trying to “hold teams hostage” while he figures things out. But given his track record and experience, many think his presence could help a contender in need of a veteran quarterback.
A Look Back at Rodgers’ 2024 Season
In 2024, Rodgers played his second and final season with the New York Jets. He had some tough times but overall had a solid year, 63% completion percentage, 3,897 yards, 28 TDs, 11 INTs. The Jets cut him in February and decided to rebuild around younger players.
Could Pittsburgh Be Rodgers’ Next Stop?
If he plays, Pittsburgh is the most likely destination for Rodgers. Right now they have Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson on the roster—a duo that can’t carry the franchise.
With the 21st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Pittsburgh is reportedly considering Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders according to USA TODAY Sports’ Nate Davis. But if Rodgers signs, they might pivot and go elsewhere, lean on the veteran to stabilize the offense.
What’s Next for Rodgers?
While he decides, we wait. Will he play another season or walk away from the game altogether? One thing is for sure: Whatever he decides will be the narrative for one of the greatest careers in NFL history.
