If Rodgers decides to continue playing, there are a few likely landing spots that seem to be made just for him. The chief among those remains to be a team where Rodgers will reunite with his old teammate.

Is Sin City Rodgers’ most probable landing spot?

While multiple teams might be ready to take Rodgers in as the final piece of their puzzle, there has been speculation that he’ll be headed to Las Vegas. The Raiders are being considered a near-perfect fit for two reasons. First, they recently released their quarterback, Derek Carr. This has created cap space as well as space on the team for Rodgers to come and take the reins. Second, one of Rodgers’ best teammates of all time, Davante Adams plays for the Raiders. If the Raiders can acquire Rodgers, the combination between Adams and Rodgers would be a lethal one.

While the NFL highly awaits a decision from Rodgers, it seems like he is going to take his own sweet time. Only time and patience will be able to reveal what Rodgers’ intentions are for his football future.
