Oddsmakers like Aaron’ Rodgers chance of being a New York Giant — will they be right?

Maybe the odds should actually be moving away from possibility

Oddsmakers are becoming increasingly convinced that veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers will sign with the New York Giants once he is officially released by the New York Jets.

In Vegas, there seems to be a lot of Rodgers to the Giants momentum.

Are the sportsbooks behind the curve, though, on this one?

Events could actually be conspiring to make Rodgers to the Giants less likely than it seemed a few days ago.

The trade of Geno Smith from the Seattle Seahawks to the Las Vegas Raiders means there is an opening in Seattle. Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold is viewed as the favorite to fill that role

Former Giant Daniel Jones could stay in Minnesota as the bridge to J.J. McCarthy. As we wrote on Saturday, though, Jones has options other than staying with the Vikings. He could land with the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts and maybe the Cleveland Browns or Seahawks if they don’t sign Darnold among them.

That might mean Rodgers could follow the Brett Favre path of Green Bay Packers to New York Jets to Vikings.

Reality is that the Vikings, who went 14-3 in 2024 are a better situation for the 41-year-old Rodgers than the Giants, who went 3-14. So, too, are the Pittsburgh Steelers. They made the playoffs with a 10-7 record, but might lose both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in free agency.

It is no wonder that Jordan Ranaan of ESPN tweeted “the Aaron Rodgers thing hardly seems like a slam dunk at this point. The Giants are not the most desirable situation.,” on Sunday afternoon.

We will find out over the next few days, but right now it feels like maybe the odds should be moving away from Rodgers becoming a Giant.
