Despite Aaron Rodgers nearing the end of his NFL career at 41, he remains one of the best quarterbacks in the league. However, his name has also attracted attention due to various controversies, and his ongoing issue is that he hasn’t decided on where to go next season.
Meanwhile, many teams have offered him money to join their roster since the Jets released him on March 12, but Rodgers has shown no progress, instead staying quiet. Recent reports indicate that he now only has two options left: the Vikings and the Steelers. But there is still much to discuss.
With free agency in full swing and teams solidifying their rosters, Aaron Rodgers is left with only two realistic options: join the Pittsburgh Steelers or retire from professional football.

While the Minnesota Vikings also showed interest for him, recent reports suggest they’ve decided to go with J.J. McCarthy as their quarterback and passed on a trade for Rodgers.
That leaves the Steelers as the only real option for the veteran quarterback. “They’re willing to be patient. My sense is the Steelers remain optimistic here and are willing to wait,” said Jeremy Fowler about the Steelers.
But some analysts believe that Rodgers might not want to play anymore, which could affect his decision about next season.

Even though his best seasons may be behind him, it’s clear that Rodgers still believes he has what it takes to win another championship.
