Death, taxes and Aaron Rodgers drama – Those are the only guarantees in life.
Sunday was just another chapter in the annual “where will Rodgers play?” saga.
Impressively, Aaron won the Pebble Beach Pro-Am (along with partner Ben Silverman), but people care about Rodgers the quarterback, not Rodgers the golfer.
The Green Bay Packers have to decide if they are going to run it back (again) with Rodgers, or if its in their best interest to turn the page once and for all and trade the future Hall of Famer.
If Green Bay decides on the latter, there won’t be a shortage of curious teams interested in acquiring the four-time MVP.
One team in particular is the Las Vegas Raiders – and their fans made sure Rodgers heard them loud and clear…
That’s a pretty big smile from Aaron Rodgers😁

Rodgers couldn’t help but notice the strong Silver & Black presence at Pebble Beach…
"The predominant team that we hear as we're walking is Raiders."@AaronRodgers12 spoke with @Amanda_Balionis about input from fans this week on which team he should join next season 👀 pic.twitter.com/stTwBgj2Vt

Rodgers’ former teammate Sam Barrington chimed in with a little inside information…
Just spoke with a friend of mine who is very in tuned with Packers/Aaron Rodgers situation.
Aaron will be a @Raiders in 2023

Of course, one of the most attractive aspects of a Rodgers-Raiders pairing is the fact that his former teammate and good friend Davante Adams is now with Vegas.
Adams, arguably the best wide receiver in football, has been pushing hard for his new team to trade for Rodgers…

Davante Adams said one million percent he would advocate to @raiders bringing in Aaron Rodgers. Said playing with him again would be a dream scenario

Rodgers held onto his trademark sense of humor on the golf course…
Probably a Raiders fan:
“Hey Aaron, I heard Davante is looking for a neighbor.”Aaron Rodgers: “Tell him to buy me a house.”
Let’s make it happen Davante Adams 😂

The bromance continued at the Pro Bowl where Adams did Rodgers’ throwback “belt” celebration after his two-point conversion catch in the back of the end zone…

The Jets, Titans and Dolphins are other possible landing spots should Green Bay decide to trade Rodgers – But more and more signs are pointing to Vegas being the most realistic suitor…
Per source at @AthletesFirst I’m told QB Aaron Rodgers has told agent, David Dunn, that he would rather play for the #Raiders than the #Jets.

Raider fans are pinching themselves at the thought of Rodgers donning the famous Silver & Black…
If Aaron Rodgers becomes a Raider that would be absolutely insane lol 🔥 after one year they reconnect in Vegas (Him & Davante) to win the Super Bowl in Allegiant Stadium. The story writes itself #RaiderNation

The sight of Rodgers in anything but a Packer uniform would be extremely strange – But even Cheeseheads are gearing themselves for the potential possibility…

Either way, there’s no denying the Raiders have become a major player in the Rodgers sweepstakes…
Some notable odds movements
Raiders moved from +200 to -150 to land Aaron Rodgers
Jets move from +450 to +150 to land Derek Carr

Rodgers was all smiles on Sunday – Him holding up a trophy in February is just about as rare of a sight as there is – After all, Tom Brady has more retirements than Rodgers has Super Bowl wins…
