After missing out on Matt Stafford, the Giants have interest in Aaron Rodgers, according to multiple reports.
The Jets are moving on from Rodgers, who will likely be designated as a post-June 1 cut.
Giants GM Joe Schoen has made it clear that the team is prioritizing the quarterback position this offseason, and has said it's possible the club will add a veteran QB via free agency or trade and draft one.
SNY NFL Insider Connor Hughes has reported that the Giants -- who currently hold the No. 3 pick in the draft -- could potentially trade up with the Titans in order to snag the No. 1 pick, where they would conceivably select Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders.
It's unclear how adding Rodgers might impact the Giants' pursuit of a top QB in the draft.
After releasing Daniel Jones during the season, the only quarterback on the Giants' roster is Tommy DeVito, whose most likely role could be as the team's No. 3 starter.
Rodgers was solid for the Jets this past season after missing nearly all of the 2023-24 season due to a torn Achilles he suffered in Week 1.
While playing all 17 games in 2024-25 (often through nagging injuries), Rodgers completed 368 of 584 passes for 3,897 yards.
He threw 28 touchdowns to 11 interceptions and had a completion percentage of 63 percent -- a few ticks below his career average of 65.1 percent.
Following a brutal season where the Giants finished 3-14, co-owner John Mara made it clear that serious progress was expected next season.
When taking the above into account, Big Blue going for someone like Rodgers could make lots of sense for Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, who are battling for their jobs.
