Aaron Rodgers could end up with the Dolphins or one of these AFC teams
By Brian Miller
The best chance for Aaron Rodgers to move on from Green Bay is about what we already listed. The rest of the AFC isn’t a realistic option.
Houston Texans
As I said earlier, I don’t see the Texans having an interest in Rodgers or vice-versa. Rodgers knows that the Texans are not close to being real contenders even in a weak division. Especially if the Titans and Colts show interest.
The Texans will draft a first-round quarterback this year and try and develop the team around him. It might look nice but Nick Caserio doesn’t seem to be the type of GM to throw future draft capital and cap space away when he knows that Rodgers wouldn’t be enough to make a difference.
That’s about it.
We can easily write off the Bengals, Browns, Steelers, Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos, and even to some degree the Patriots. New England isn’t likely to throw that kind of money at a QB with two young guys they believe in.
The Ravens could be an option if they trade Jackson but one of the issues for Baltimore is that they don’t want to guarantee the contract Jackson wants. What is the message being sent if the take on a fully guaranteed deal for Rodgers?

Miami would have been the perfect option.
Last year, the year before? Yes, the Miami Dolphins might have been the landing spot for Rodgers. He would have been an almost perfect fit in 2023 with a good defense, a decent running game, and a WR group that is elite but the Dolphins have Tua Tagovailoa and if that wasn’t the case, Rodgers would be a premium option to lead the team. Miami could have drafted another QB to groom behind Rodgers and add the support pieces to the offensive line to make the system run more smoothly.
This is, however, not the year for that. Miami is invested in Tua Tagovailoa as it should be.
So where does he go?
While the Packers are ready to move on and hand the keys over to Jordan Love, the options for making that happen are not great. Green Bay will want good compensation and Rodgers’ contract is a mess. In reality, he is likely to stay exactly where he is at.
