Arizona Cardinals WR tries to woo Aaron Rodgers to Arizona

The Arizona Cardinals have been connected to free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers for a bit, and one Cardinals player didn't help the story die down.

Rodgers, who remains unsigned after playing one season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has not yet revealed his plan to the Steelers for 2026. They placed a seldom-used unrestricted free agent tag on him, although he can still go elsewhere. If he did, the Steelers would be eligible for a compensatory pick.

There are no actual reports that Rodgers is considering the Cardinals or that the Cardinals are pursuing him. There is one saying that the noise and speculation is just nonsense.

But receiver Kendrick Bourne's post on social media has people talking about it still.

This is probably more a case of Bourne seeing and hearing what Cardinals fans are talking about and simply shooting his shot.

There is no doubt that Rodgers would make the Cardinals better.

Last season in Pittsburgh, he led the Steelers to the playoffs, completing 65.7% of his passes for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

The Cardinals do have offensive weapons.

But the Cardinals' roster isn't a quarterback away from competing in the NFC West. Yes, he would immediately make them more relevant, but probably not to the point of getting them to the postseason.

Right now, the Cardinals have Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, Kedon Slovis and rookie third-round pick Carson Beck at quarterback. Brissett is away from the team during voluntary offseason workouts, seeking a new contract that pays him like a starter, as he is currently projected to be the starter.
