Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers tees off on the first hole during the Phoenix Open Annexus Pro-Am at TPC Scottsdale on February 5, 2025. Aaron Rodgers may have tipped his hand as to the identity of his next NFL employer.
While making an appearance at a Mike Stud concert in Austin, Texas on Friday, Rodgers was asked by a young fan whether he’d play for the Chicago Bears.
Her question was met with a bit of laughter from the audience, given Rodgers’ previous claim that he “owned” the rival Bears during his time as the star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.
“No, but I believe there’s a team that might play in Chicago this year on a road trip,” Rodgers said. “I love Chicago, though. Way more than they love me.”
If one is willing to read into Rodgers’ comment, the Pittsburgh Steelers play in Chicago on Nov. 23. The Steelers, of course, long have been rumored to be the eventual landing spot for Rodgers.
Russell Wilson and Justin Fields were the starters in Pittsburgh last season and both signed free agent deals to play in New York — Wilson with the Giants, Fields with the Jets.
Quarterbacks currently on Pittsburgh’s roster are Mason Rudolph, a former Steeler who is returning after a season with the Tennessee Titans, Skylar Thompson and sixth-round draft pick Will Howard.
Rodgers, 41, passed for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns with the Jets in 2024, returning from a season-ending Achilles injury suffered in his first game with the team in September 2023.
A four-time NFL MVP and 10-time Pro Bowl selection, Rodgers ranks fifth in league history in touchdown passes (503) and seventh in passing yards (62,952).

Sigma tuší, že přijde o Klimenta: Nabídce Slavie můžeme těžko konkurovat
Kliment prodělal během sezony dvě vážná zranění, momentálně se zotavuje ze zlomeniny lýtkové kosti. Zasáhl tak jen do 21 ligových utkání. Ale i tak nasázel osmnáct branek. S jistotou se tak dá tvrdit, že ovládne žebříček ligových kanonýrů.„Kdo by to řekl, že hráč v regionálním klubu, jakým Sigma je, se stane králem střelců? Neuvěřitelný počin. Má obrovskou kvalitu, je pohotový, jeho přehled i zakončení jsou špičkové,“ chválil Klimenta Janotka. Ten si je moc dobře vědom, že opora v řadách jeho svěřenců zřejmě moc dlouho nevydrží.Foto: Luděk Peřina, ČTKZraněný útočník Sigmy Olomouc Jan Kliment přišel na finále poháru o berlích. Není tajemstvím, že o Klimenta jeví eminentní zájem pražská Slavia. I přes zdravotní potíže, které jej momentálně trápí. A sám reprezentační útočník? Ten moc dobře tuší, že ve 31 letech má možná poslední příležitost na velký přestup. Poslední příležitost znovu si zahrát Ligu mistrů, již si před necelými třemi roky vyzkoušel v Plzni.„Vnímám, […]
