The Arizona Cardinals endured a difficult 2025 season, finishing with a record of 3 wins and 14 losses, including a nine-game losing streak. As the team looks to rebuild, speculation has emerged about a potential move for veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Cardinals Linked to Aaron Rodgers
CBS Sports' John Breech recently suggested that the Arizona Cardinals could pursue Aaron Rodgers, whose future with the Pittsburgh Steelers remains uncertain. Breech noted that the Cardinals' quarterback situation is still unresolved, with Jacoby Brissett skipping voluntary workouts due to contract demands. Instead of meeting Brissett's demands, the Cardinals could offer that money to Rodgers.
Breech also highlighted the connection between the Cardinals' coaching staff and Rodgers. The Cardinals are now coached by Mike LaFleur, the brother of Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur, who coached Rodgers for four seasons. This familiarity could make the Cardinals an attractive destination for the 42-year-old quarterback.
In contrast, Rodgers' potential reunion with Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh ended on a sour note during their time in Green Bay, making the Cardinals a more appealing option.
Rodgers' Current Status
The Arizona Cardinals have not confirmed any trade talks regarding Aaron Rodgers. For now, the quarterback's situation with the Pittsburgh Steelers remains complicated after the team placed an unrestricted free agent tender on him. Reports indicate that Rodgers has until July 22 to make a decision; after that date, he would have no choice but to sign with the Steelers for the upcoming season.
In the 2025 season, Rodgers threw for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, while also rushing for a touchdown. As the NFL Draft approaches, all eyes are on where the star quarterback will land next.
