Rumors began that the Saints could sign Rodgers to replace Carr, who announced his retirement earlier this month after dealing with ongoing injuries that likely would’ve caused him to miss most of the upcoming season.
Rodgers also took part in a Q&A session at a Mike Stud concert and said he could be joining a team that “might play in Chicago this year, seemingly an inference that he was referring to the Steelers.
But the Saints also face the Bears on the road in the 2025 regular season.
However, Rodgers then shared in the same Q&A session that he’s not interested in rocking the Saints uniform.

The four-time NFL MVP threw cold water on a fan’s question about playing for the Saints.
“No,” Rodgers said at the Austin, Texas function.
“That’s the answer.
“I’ve played there a couple of times, but no. I’m too old.
“I don’t want to live in Louisiana. Sorry.”
Rodgers was then asked if he was signing with the Steelers, and he gave a vague answer.

“You never know,” he said.
Still, it’s believed that Rodgers will pen a contract with the Steelers.
The iconic franchise led by Mike Tomlin usually has four quarterbacks in the summer and currently has three: Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson, and a late-round rookie, Will Howard.
The Steelers don’t seem to have their starting quarterback solution, and all indications point to a fit with Rodgers.
As for the Saints, they will simply have a quarterback competition as second-round rookie Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener will battle in camp for the starting job.

The team could also add a free-agent veteran, like Ryan Tannehill, or trade for one.
The Saints got to an early start in their OTAs (Organized Team Activities) last week, while the Steelers will begin the workouts on Tuesday.
Both franchises will begin mandatory minicamps next month as the two get ready for the upcoming campaign.
