New York Giants Seriously Eyeing Aaron Rodgers as Quarterback for 2025 Season
It seems that the possibility of Aaron Rodgers joining the New York Giants is no longer just speculation—it's becoming a very real option. What was initially dismissed as mere rumors is now reportedly much closer to happening, as the Giants are seriously considering bringing the legendary quarterback on board for the 2025 season.
According to Art Stapleton, a veteran reporter for USA TODAY, the Giants and Rodgers' representatives have been in deep discussions, and the talks are moving "pretty significantly down the road." In an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Stapleton shared that if Rodgers were to end up with the Giants before the start of the league year, it would not come as a surprise. “They’ve talked about what it would take to get Aaron here with the Giants,” he said. “At every turn, the Giants have yet to be scared off… From a football fit, this is something they’re seriously considering.” This marks a significant shift, as just weeks ago, the Giants were seen as largely uninterested in Rodgers.

Though Rodgers is technically still a member of the New York Jets, he has been made aware of his impending release, which has opened the door for his agents to begin talks with other teams, including the Giants. Despite initial doubts, it now seems like the Giants are emerging as the frontrunners in the race to acquire the 41-year-old quarterback.
The cost of acquiring Rodgers remains uncertain, but the Giants are reportedly not deterred by the potential price tag. Even at 41, Rodgers' impressive resume as one of the NFL's most successful quarterbacks makes him an attractive option. While there may be concerns over his age and recent performance, there's no denying his talent and leadership ability. It’s also worth noting that Rodgers has a history of mentoring young quarterbacks, which could be crucial for the Giants, who may be looking to develop a future star.
There’s a significant question as to whether Rodgers would be willing to step into a mentor role, similar to the way Kurt Warner helped guide Eli Manning back in 2004. For Rodgers to work with the Giants, he would have to accept a situation where the team’s long-term future could be focused on developing a younger quarterback, with Rodgers potentially transitioning into more of a support role.
The Giants' interest in Rodgers is now considered to be “real,” as pointed out by Bob Papa, a Giants radio announcer. If they can make this work, Rodgers could bring a much-needed boost to a team that's looking to make a serious run in 2025. However, for this to succeed, Rodgers would need to embrace the idea of playing for the team not just as the star, but also as a mentor and team player. Whether or not he's willing to take that approach remains to be seen, but it’s clear the Giants are giving this move serious thought as they look toward their future.
As we approach the weekend, it seems like the Giants’ quarterback search may finally be taking a clear direction. Will Aaron Rodgers be the one to lead the team in 2025? Only time will tell, but the possibility is becoming more likely by the day.
