Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Prefers to play for Rams

Rodgers is interested in playing for the Rams in 2025 and would attempt to bring Davante Adams with him to Los Angeles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Rodgers hasn't yet been let go by the Jets, but he's reportedly already working to find a new team as his release is a foregone conclusion. As for the Rams, there's been a whole lot of trade chatter around Matthew Stafford, with the team and quarterback at odds over his contract. Rodgers would come much cheaper, and trading Stafford could allow the Rams to add premium draft capital. However, at this stage of their respective careers, going from Stafford to Rodgers would have to be considered a downgrade for Sean McVey's offense, even if the cost savings and shorter-term commitment might be appealing. As for Adams, he's also expected to be let go by New York in the coming weeks. With Cooper Kupp headed out the door in L.A., Adams would make sense as a running mate for Puka Nacua. Stafford is the big veteran quarterback domino the rest of the league is waiting on to fall, whether that's a trade or a new deal to stay with the Rams.
