Aaron Rodgers’ offseason saga has entered yet another frustrating chapter for NFL fans. It’s been nearly a month since his release from the New York Jets, and the four-time MVP still hasn’t made a decision about his playing future. The wait continues, and a resurfaced comment from Rodgers has fans feeling misled.
After the Jets’ Week 18 win over the Miami Dolphins, Rodgers told reporters, “I’m not gonna hold anyone up.” At the time, it seemed like Rodgers was promising a quick decision. But as the weeks drag on with no clear resolution, fans are growing increasingly impatient and vocal about what they see as a contradiction.
Social media has been buzzing with reactions, with many calling Rodgers out for appearing to contradict his earlier statement. “Narcissist 101!! This dude needs mental help!!” one frustrated fan wrote, while others accused Rodgers of intentionally dragging out the process. “This man loves to troll,” another fan claimed.
The overall sentiment from fans is clear: they just want closure. “Just want a decision at this point,” one user posted, echoing the thoughts of many NFL followers who are tired of waiting.
However, some have come to Rodgers’ defense, pointing out that his comments back in January were likely made within the context of his time with the Jets. “He was speaking of the Jets only, since at that time they were his only option. He kept his word!” one fan argued, suggesting Rodgers was referring to not holding up the Jets’ plans specifically.
Regardless of his intentions, Rodgers’ silence is only amplifying the frustration. Meanwhile, teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers — one of the rumored suitors — continue making their offseason plans with or without him. Whether Rodgers plays in 2025 or not, one thing is clear: his words and actions are being scrutinized more than ever. And until he makes a decision, the NFL world will continue to watch and wait.
