Rams suggested as a potential destination for Aaron Rodgers in 2025

Aaron Rodgers and the freefalling Jets will face off against the Los Angeles Rams just a few days before Christmas. New York appears headed for yet another rebuild in the 2025 offseason which means that Rodgers will unlikely be part of their plans moving forward. If the Jets move on from Rodgers, LA was mentioned as a possible destination for the four-time MVP.

Yahoo Sports senior writer Charles Robinson gave his rationale for and against Rodgers joining the Rams if New York mercifully ends the experiment:

“Why it could happen: Like Shanahan and the 49ers, Sean McVay and the Rams had their own interest in Rodgers in 2021, prior to dealing for Matthew Stafford. There’s some question about whether or not Stafford will be in the fold next season, and the Rams don’t have a clearly logical long-term option at the position. The overall roster isn’t the same quality as San Francisco, but Rodgers has a personal affinity for Los Angeles and there is enough offensive talent to at least have a nice one-season bridge opportunity for both quarterback and team.”

“Why it won’t happen: The Rams have salary-cap issues, so Rodgers would have to come in for nothing, and the team has shown little interest in rebuilding with anything but younger players. Adding Rodgers would merely be a one-season patch to try and win the Super Bowl in the 2025 season, and the Rams don’t look like they’re equipped for that with or without him. So what would be the point?”

What is the point of even suggesting a stupid move like this? There is zero chance that Sean McVay and the front office would pursue a washed-up veteran QB like Rodgers, not when they already have a proven option at the position already. Matthew Stafford has been inconsistent this season but is marginally better than the crappy play the Jets signal caller has given New York fans.

Rodgers’ poor play has led to the firings of head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas, not to mention getting his offensive coordinator and BFF Nathaniel Hackett stripped from play calling duties. Once viewed as a Super Bowl contender which is laughable in of itself, the Jets are 3-8 and are far out of playoff contention in the weak AFC.

The Rams might have expressed interest in Rodgers back in 2021, but that was with the then-Packers star coming off a 48-touchdown campaign. Now, Rodgers is a cancer and his wish list of buddies to join him in New York was an absolute bust that has plunged the franchise deeper into irrelevance. LA should and will make the smart move by avoiding the Fraudgers drama this offseason.
