BREAKING: Aaron Rodgers Rejects $25 Million Vikings Offer, Says He Won’t Be a Backup

March 31, 2025 – In a stunning move, Aaron Rodgers has turned down a $25 million offer from the Minnesota Vikings, making it clear that he has no interest in being a backup quarterback. The 41-year-old NFL legend made a bold statement, saying:

“I don’t want to be a backup quarterback.”

Rodgers, a four-time MVP and Super Bowl champion, has been recovering from the Achilles injury that sidelined him for most of the 2023 season. With speculation about his future, the Vikings reportedly saw an opportunity to bring in the veteran star, possibly as a mentor and insurance option behind their starting quarterback. However, Rodgers quickly shut down that possibility.

This decision raises even more questions about what’s next for Rodgers. Will he return to the New York Jets as their starter? Will another team offer him a leading role? Or could retirement finally be on the horizon for the future Hall of Famer?

For now, one thing is certain—Aaron Rodgers is not ready to settle for a backup role, and the football world is eagerly waiting to see what his next move will be.
