This week, the NFL world received some big news. The New York Jets announced that they will be moving on from veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will become a free agent this offseason.
This past season was certainly an up-and-down experience for second-year QB Anthony Richardson. So, should the Colts be the team to sign Rodgers, which would ultimately end the Richardson experiment in Indianapolis?
The Colts have been down the veteran free agent QB carousel, and it didn't work out in their favor more often than not. Rodgers is looking for his third team in three years, and both times now, his previous team has made the decision to move off of him.
Rodgers has had a fantastic career, which has included 10 Pro Bowls, four MVPs, four All-Pro, and a Super Bowl win with the Green Bay Packers. Even though it didn't lead to team success, Rodgers had a solid season in 2024 by throwing for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and only 11 interceptions. It is fair to assume that he would raise the floor of the Colts offense if signed, but would it be worth it, and would it come with enough success to warrant closing the book on Richardson's time with the Colts?
If Rodgers is going to work next year, it needs to be in a perfect situation. The Colts had issues on and off the field in 2024 and looked to be more than just a quarterback away. Whether you believe in Anthony Richardson turning things around in 2025 or not, I think most of the Colts fan base would agree that they are better off seeing if he develops this season than signing Rodgers to a large contract. The team already has multiple needs they need to upgrade this offseason, and giving Rodgers a large sum of their available cap space would hinder their ability to address them. I also don't think the Colts brass of Chris Ballard and Shane Steichen would want to tie the fate of their jobs to Rodgers and the drama that has followed him throughout his career.
