Aaron Rodgers Fuming That NFL Hasn't Added Expansion Team To Sign Him [View all]



Published: April 4, 2025

MONTCLAIR, NJ—Declaring that this was no way to treat a Super Bowl winner and four-time league MVP, quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters Friday that he was furious the NFL hadn’t added an expansion team to sign him. “After everything I’ve done for this sport, the least they could do is create an entirely new franchise so I can play quarterback next season,” said the 41-year-old, adding that it was completely unacceptable for him to still be unsigned when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could simply snap his fingers and create a team in San Antonio; Honolulu; Columbus, OH; or Portland, OR for Rodgers to lead in 2025.

“I’ve played 20 seasons in the NFL, so I think it’s pretty messed up that no one’s even offered to pump hundreds of millions into a new stadium, coaching staff, and roster just so I can get on the field. Seriously, I’m not picky. If I had to, I’d even go to Canada!” Rodgers added that he was also furious that NFL Network hadn’t created a new streaming service to hire him as a commentator.
