New Orleans Saints Sign Aaron Rodgers to Four-Year, $75 Million Deal
New Orleans, LA – April 2, 2025
In a stunning move that shakes up the NFL landscape, the New Orleans Saints have signed four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a four-year, $75 million contract, sources confirm. The deal includes $50 million guaranteed and makes Rodgers the new face of the franchise as the Saints look to return to championship contention.
Rodgers, 41, became a free agent after parting ways with the New York Jets following an injury-plagued 2024 season. Despite concerns about his age and durability, the Saints are betting on the veteran’s experience and leadership to elevate their offense.
“We believe Aaron still has plenty of elite football left in him,” said Saints head coach Dennis Allen. “His ability to read defenses, extend plays, and deliver in clutch moments is exactly what we need to compete for a Super Bowl.”
The signing signals a major shift for the Saints, who struggled at quarterback following Drew Brees’ retirement in 2020. With a solid offensive line, talented playmakers like Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara, and a strong defense, New Orleans is positioning itself as a serious NFC contender.
Rodgers, who won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in 2010, expressed excitement about the opportunity. “New Orleans is an incredible football city with passionate fans,” he said. “I’m ready to get to work and bring another championship to the Saints.”
The Saints are expected to introduce Rodgers at a press conference later this week. His arrival raises immediate questions about the future of Derek Carr, who signed a four-year deal with the team in 2023. Whether Rodgers can stay healthy and lead the Saints deep into the playoffs remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—New Orleans just made the biggest splash
of the offseason.
