As of 2025, Aaron Rodgers is a free agent and is not under contract with any NFL team. He was released by the New York Jets in March 2023 and signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears in March 2023, playing the 2023 season with Chicago. He entered free agency again in March 2024 and has not signed with a new team for 2025. No team has announced his addition to a roster in 2025, and he is not listed on any official 53- or 90-man rosters.
Clarifying 2025 roster status
Because Aaron Rodgers is currently unsigned for the 2025 season, he does not play for a team this year. When a player is in free agency between contracts, teams are free to pursue him, but until a deal is finalized and filed with the league, he remains with his club from the previous season. His most recent team was the Chicago Bears for 2023. Status for 2025 remains open unless a new contract is announced and ratified. This clarification follows standard NFL roster and free agency timelines and reflects publicly reported transactions and the absence of new signings as of early 2025.

Key details about his 2023 season with the Bears
In 2023 with Chicago, Aaron Rodgers dealt with injuries and inconsistency. He started 13 regular season games, completing 299 of 459 passes for 3,004 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, with a passer rating near 86.0. The Bears finished 7-10 and did not qualify for the playoffs. These stats and outcomes are part of his recent verified performance record and are useful context when evaluating his market value and interest from teams in 2025.
How free agency works for quarterbacks
NFL free agency has distinct windows and rules that affect high-profile quarterbacks like Rodgers. Unrestricted free agents can sign with any team once the new league year begins. Teams must manage salary cap space to retain or sign veteran players, and franchise tags can temporarily limit free agency, though Rodgers has not received a tag in recent seasons he has been unsigned entering a year.
April transition period
After the final season of a contract, players often train in familiar facilities and meet with teams on a non-committal basis. Medical evaluations and structured team visits can signal interest but do not guarantee a contract. For Rodgers in 2024–2025, the absence of an announced April visit or structured offseason program indicates no firm commitment yet.
Roster deadlines and reporting dates
NFL clubs must submit 53-man rosters by a league-mandated deadline in August. Players not on a roster by that date remain unsigned unless signed to the practice squad later. Because Rodgers is not listed on any current roster, he is not scheduled to report to any team for training camp in 2025. If a deal emerges after the deadline, teams can void or restructure roster spots, but no such move has been reported.
