Aaron Rodgers given fresh signing option after Green Bay Packers send message

A new candidate has emerged for Aaron Rodgers after the Green Bay Packers all-but confirmed that they are ready to move on from him - with Washington Commanders releasing Carson Wentz.

The Commanders got rid of their starting quarterback Wentz on Monday night, in a move that might not have been too surprising with it saving the team over $26 million in cap space with them likely to use that to resign key free agent Daron Payne.

But the Commanders made another intriguing move recently, in hiring Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. The former playcaller for Patrick Mahomes certainly knows how to get the best out of an elite pocket passer, and could be a good landing spot for Rodgers, to be paired with a strong offensive line and elite wide receiver in Terry McLaurin.
