Aaron Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP, recently participated in an event in Texas where he made it clear that he has not yet decided on his playing future for 2025. However, he did take the opportunity to rule out specific teams for potential consideration. When approached by a New Orleans Saints fan regarding the possibility of joining their roster, Rodgers firmly responded with a 'no,' and humorously added that he feels 'too old' to reside in Louisiana.

This statement adds the Saints to the list of teams that Rodgers has explicitly dismissed. He also mentioned that he would not consider playing for the Chicago Bears. In a subtle hint toward his future, Rodgers referenced a team that might be competing in Chicago this year during an upcoming road game, prompting astute listeners to deduce he was referring to the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are slated to visit Soldier Field on November 23.

The New Orleans Saints, following the unexpected retirement announcement of Derek Carr on May 10, may have been contemplating an outreach to Rodgers's agents. While the Saints did draft quarterback Tyler Shough in the second round of the 2025 draft, there remains significant uncertainty regarding his potential effectiveness as a starter in the NFL. Although Rodgers may no longer be seen as a top-tier quarterback at this stage in his career, he could still represent the most viable option for a struggling team like the Saints. One additional consideration for Rodgers is the Saints' current trajectory, as he reportedly prefers to join a team perceived as a contender. Given that the Saints finished last season with a 5-12 record, their ability to elevate themselves to contender status in the NFC appears challenging.
