Aaron Rodgers’ career, once seemingly straightforward, experienced a significant disruption when the Green Bay Packers moved up in the 2020 NFL Draft to select Utah State quarterback Jordan Love. This marked the beginning of a tumultuous chapter filled with both triumphs and setbacks for the Super Bowl champion.

From winning MVP awards in consecutive years (2020 and 2021) to being traded to the New York Jets in 2023, and then suffering an Achilles tear just four snaps into a game—only to return in 2024 with the Jets having a worse season than the previous one under Zach Wilson’s leadership.

Now, with the Jets designating Rodgers as a post-June 1 cut, the four-time MVP is free to choose his next team. Among the potential suitors, one stands out as his top choice. According to Pat Leonard of NYDN sports, Rodgers is eyeing the Los Angeles Rams, provided they trade their current quarterback, Matthew Stafford.

Opting for the Rams seems a logical move for a seasoned quarterback like Rodgers—or any starting QB for that matter.

Known for their efficient management and excellent drafting, the Rams are led by the detail-oriented and offensive-minded head coach, Sean McVay, who also boasts a Super Bowl victory.

The team features a top-5 NFL wide receiver in Puka Nacua, who, if reports are accurate, could form a potent duo with All-Pro Davante Adams, alongside a surprisingly strong offensive line when in full health. Currently, the odds favor the California native joining the Rams at +100, suggesting a significant 50% implied probability (though slightly less when accounting for bookmaker margins).

While there is skepticism around the league about Stafford’s departure, bookmakers seem fairly certain that there’s nearly a 50% chance of it happening—unless they envision a scenario where both Rodgers and Stafford play for the Rams in 2025.
