Mandatory Credit: Barry Reeger-Imagn Images | Barry Reeger-Imagn ImagesAs crazy as it may sound, the Denver Broncos have reportedly discussed brining in Aaron Rodgers for a visit, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. This comes on the heels of Bo Nix suffering a broken ankle in Denver's divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills.
There's talk of the Broncos possibly bringing Rodgers in for a visit," Florio writes. The motivation comes from the possibility that current starter Bo Nix won't be fully and completely back to 100 percent when Week 1 rolls around. This notion conflicts with recent comments from Broncos owner Greg Penner, who declared at the NFL's annual meeting that Nix is ahead of schedule' from the broken ankle he suffered late in the playoff win over the Bills and should be good to go for OTAs.
It's worth noting that Broncos insider Mike Klis said there is almost zero chance of this happening.
Source says zero percent' chance of this happening," Klis posted on X. As Greg Penner, Sean Payton and George Paton just said at NFL meetings, QB Bo Nix will be ready by start of offseason program on May 4. Full go by start of OTAs."
Rodgers has remained noncommittal to the Steelers, as he has yet to make a decision regarding his future with the team, and in the NFL as a whole. Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy told media at the NFL Owners Meetings that he and Rodgers communicate often, and Team President Art Rooney II says the team expects Rodgers' decision before the 2026 NFL Draft.
