Aaron Rodgers could be set for another stint in New York, but this time with the Giants, according to reports.

The 41-year-old quarterback will soon be a free agent after being released by the New York Jets, now under the stewardship of new head coach Aaron Glenn.

Rodgers has spent the last two seasons at the MetLife Stadium but, after arriving amid much fanfare, suffered a season-ending achilles injury in the opening game of the 2023 campaign.

He returned last term to start all 17 games, completing 63.0% of his passes for 3,897 yards with 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, but the Jets finished 5-12.

It is now believed the four-time NFL MVP is on the radar of the Giants, who are looking to end a two-year slump that has seen a combined 9-25 record after reaching the playoffs in 2022.

The Athletic reported the Giants’ decision-makers had been focused on Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. However, any potential move was scuppered on Friday when Stafford, a Super Bowl winner with the Rams in 2022, agreed to a restructured contract.

Sam Darnold, after his breakout season last year with the Minnesota Vikings, is also thought to be among the options for the Giants.

The Giants also hold the No 3 overall pick in the 2025 draft.

Rodgers, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection, is the active NFL leader with 62,952 passing yards and 503 touchdown passes in 20 seasons with the Green Bay Packers (2005-22) and Jets.
