BREAKING: New York Giant Finally Made Decision On signing Four-time NFL MVP In Free Agency
Since Eli Manning retired after the 2018 season, the Giants have struggled to find stability at quarterback. The team had high hopes for Daniel Jones when they selected him sixth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, expecting him to be their next franchise QB.
Although Jones showed promise at times, including a breakout 2022 season, he is now considered another first-round draft bust. As a result, the Giants are back to square one this offseason in their search for a quarterback. While many expect them to draft a top prospect in April, they also want an experienced veteran in the mix.
Additionally, head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen are focused on securing their jobs beyond this season. Rather than just bringing in a veteran to mentor a rookie, they want someone who can help the team compete for a playoff spot. That’s why they are particularly interested in signing veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has played for the Packers and Jets.
New York Giants willing to wait as long as Aaron Rodgers wants to make a decision?
The Giants appear to be fully committed to signing the four-time NFL MVP, willing to take a major gamble by waiting as long as necessary for the 41-year-old to decide where he wants to play in 2025.
The Giants are patiently waiting to see if Aaron Rodgers decides to join them, as they appear to be among the teams he’s considering early on. However, there’s no clear timeline for his decision, and he likely enjoys the constant speculation surrounding him. The Giants aren’t pressuring him and are giving him the time and space to make his choice.

The New York Giants are taking a significant risk by allowing Aaron Rodgers as much time as he needs to make his decision. According to Garafolo, the team recently met with veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, and Jameis Winston—solid backup options if Rodgers doesn’t sign. However, these quarterbacks are also attracting interest from other teams, and if the Giants delay too long, they could lose out on them to rival franchises.
There have been rumors that Aaron Rodgers may prefer to play for the Minnesota Vikings next season. However, a recent report surfaced yesterday indicating that the Vikings are prepared to move forward with 2024 first-round pick JJ McCarthy as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season.
