Wild Aaron Rodgers rumor has NFL reporters in a source battle
It’s important to be cautious when reading things on the internet these days, and that’s especially true on April Fools’ Day. So, when a report surfaced that Aaron Rodgers was planning to visit the Denver Broncos, we did a quadruple take. The report comes from Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio , who insists this is not some April Fools’ joke.
Florio reports that “there’s talk of the Broncos possibly bringing Rodgers in for a visit” and the interest stems from “the possibility that current starter Bo Nix won’t be fully and completely back to 100 percent” by the start of the season. “And it’s not an April Fool’s Day gag,” Florio added. The Broncos could be turning to Rodgers, at a time when the Steelers have assumed the position for the second straight offseason.
” Nix suffered a fractured ankle in the playoffs, but his recovery shouldn’t take that long. In fact, general manager George Paton said during the NFL Annual Meeting this week that Nix was expected to be ready to roll by OTAs (organized team activities), which is well before the season rolls around. A source battle over Broncos-Rodgers rumor Dec 28, 2025; Cleveland, Ohio, USA; Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (8) looks on after the game against the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field.
Mandatory Credit: Scott Galvin-Imagn Images In the wake of Florio’s report, Broncos beat writer, Mike Klis of 9News , refuted it, saying a source is telling him that there’s a “zero percent” chance Rodgers will visit Denver and the report from Florio “must be an April Fool’s joke. ” “Report Broncos have interest in Aaron Rodgers must be an April Fool’s joke,” Klis wrote on X. “Source says ‘zero percent’ chance of this happening.
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. ” Just what we love to see: a good old-fashioned source battle.
