Aaron Rodgers still a free agent after Jets release
Aaron Rodgers is currently a free agent after being released by the New York Jets. The 41-year-old quarterback may have seen his options change recently due to a decision made by the New York Giants. Over the weekend, the Giants signed free agent Jameis Winston to a two-year contract worth $8 million. This unexpected move suggests the team wanted to secure an experienced quarterback after waiting for Rodgers to decide on his future. Despite the signing, reports indicate that the Giants are still interested in Rodgers. They have not ruled out the possibility of adding him to their roster. However, they did not want to wait indefinitely for him to make a choice. Rodgers is considering his options and might wait until after the NFL Draft to announce his decision. His first choice appears to be the Minnesota Vikings, but they are currently committed to quarterback JJ McCarthy, who missed his rookie season due to injury. Rodgers has also been linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers, with reports stating he had a productive visit to their facility last Friday. The two sides are expected to remain in contact. In other news, Rodgers received the North Valley Philanthropist of the Year award for his charitable work, including significant donations for wildlife recovery and COVID-19 relief efforts. He expressed his gratitude for the honor and emphasized the importance of giving back.
