Aaron Rodgers has not made any definitive statements regarding his plans for the 2025 NFL season. However, during a recent event in Texas, the four-time MVP made it clear that he would not consider playing for certain teams. When asked by a fan of the New Orleans Saints about a potential move, Rodgers responded with a firm 'no' and humorously added that he is 'too old' to live in Louisiana. This statement builds upon his earlier comments at the same event, where he explicitly ruled out the Chicago Bears as a possible destination.

In addition to dismissing the Saints, Rodgers hinted at potential future opportunities by referencing a team scheduled to play in Chicago this season on a road trip. Observers noted that the Pittsburgh Steelers are slated to face the Bears at Soldier Field on November 23, leading many to speculate about the possibility of Rodgers joining the Steelers as he continues to deliberate his next career moves.

The Saints, coming off a disappointing 5-12 season, are in a transitional phase, especially after quarterback Derek Carr announced his retirement earlier in May. In response, New Orleans selected quarterback Tyler Shough in the second round of the 2025 draft. However, uncertainties remain over Shough's ability to step into a high-level starting role within the NFL. While some may argue that Rodgers, despite being past his peak, could provide valuable experience and skill to a team like the Saints, his decision-making appears primarily influenced by his desire to align with a contender, making it difficult to view the current state of the Saints as a viable option.
