Aaron Rodgers is out of a job, but last week was asked if he would consider playing for the New Orleans Saints. Maybe it was the way he said 'No' - or more likely - the way he said, 'I don't want to live in Louisiana,' but really ... Who asked? Jim Derry jumps on that early in Wednesday's Da...
So, Aaron Rodgers says he wouldn't consider playing for the Saints. Interesting, because to our knowledge no one here wants him - neither the team nor the fans. The biggest question on this hypothetical is: Can you imagine the circus that has-been would bring here?
Let's have a little fun with it on Wednesday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 379) presented by Evangeline Securities, as host Jim Derry brings in local radio icon Eric Asher for a chat, as the duo also discusses the state of the QB race between Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler. And what's the ceiling for wins in 2025?
Lastly, Gabe Henderson and Jim have their own rankings for where this QB room ranks in the NFL, and then get into an interesting debate on just how good Bears QB Caleb Williams was in his rookie season and how much better he'll be - or won't be - under new Coach Ben Johnson.
