Vegas insiders think Aaron Rodgers is heading to Raiders

Las Vegas insiders are indicating that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will end up playing for Josh McDaniels and the Raiders in 2023.

Every sign points to Aaron Rodgers leaving the Packers this offseason. The bright neon ones are pointing toward him coming to Las Vegas.

The scuttlebutt in Vegas suggests Rodgers is going to land with the Raiders as Green Bay looks to trade their long-time QB.

Las Vegas Locally on Twitter suggested that head coach Josh McDaniels has “told several people that he believes Aaron Rodgers will play for Las Vegas next season.”

That might not be the most NFL-connected source but they are locally connected and have scooped other stories in the past.

If you don’t believe that source, there are other signs coming out of Vegas that the Rodgers-to-Raiders rumors have legs. The odds have flipped in favor of the Raiders over the weekend.

Betting odds for Rodgers landing with the Raiders went from +450 to -150 over the last day or so.

Make of it what you will.

Meanwhile, Raiders receiver Davante Adams continued his campaign to signal his desire for Rodgers to join him in Vegas. During the Pro Bowl, he dropped a rendition of Rodgers’ signature “Discount Double-Check” celebration.

Rodgers isn’t exactly pouring cold water on the rumors either. At the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the quarterback name-dropped the Raiders as the team with the most fans urging him to head their way.

There are a bunch of quarterback-needy teams out there, from the Jets to the Buccaneers. So snagging Rodgers isn’t exactly a simple endeavor. Still, there’s good reason to think he could be coming to Las Vegas.

For now, fans will have to wait to see what happens with Derek Carr as the decision deadline looms on his contract while dreaming of Rodgers in Black and Silver.
