Veteran QBs Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson Facing Uncertain Futures

In the 2025 NFL season, several veteran quarterbacks are facing uncertain futures. According to reports from late June 2025, Green Bay Packers legend Aaron Rodgers has already indicated this will likely be his final year in the league. Rodgers, now 41 years old, signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, stating he wants to "finish with love and fun and peace" to his storied career.

Elsewhere, 40-year-old Joe Flacco has joined the Cleveland Browns on a one-year contract, becoming part of the team's infamous carousel of 40 starting QBs since 1999. However, the Browns may soon turn to younger talents like Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders, as they have two first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.

In New York, the Giants have named 36-year-old Russell Wilson as their starter, but he appears to be on borrowed time. The team's first-round pick, Jaxson Dart, impressed in the preseason, completing 32-of-47 passes for 372 yards and three touchdowns. Giants coach Brian Daboll has praised Dart's progress, hinting it's only a matter of time before the rookie takes over as the team's QB1.

With Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson all signing one-year deals, the 2025 season may be the final opportunity for these veteran quarterbacks to be starters in the NFL.
