Aaron Rodgers remains a free agent as the NFL draft approaches, creating speculation about his next move. Despite a workout session with DK Metcalf, interest from the Steelers seems less certain, leading to questions about a potential signing with the New Orleans Saints. The relationship between the Saints and current QB Derek Carr appears fragile, especially with Carr's shoulder issue and the team's draft position, making them a candidate for a new franchise quarterback.

With the Saints' recent struggles and an easier path in the NFC South compared to the Steelers' AFC North challenges, a one-year rental of Rodgers could provide benefits. It would allow the Saints to mentor a rookie while leveraging Rodgers' experience to navigate the season. The Saints' connections to Rodgers, including familiarity with their coaching staff, might further entice him to consider New Orleans as a viable option.
