In a shocking and unexpected turn of events, the Miami Dolphins have officially signed veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the 2025 NFL season. The deal, which has taken the football world by surprise, comes after the Dolphins’ quarterback situation was thrown into uncertainty following the sudden resignation of head coach Mike McDaniel earlier this week.
Sources close to the situation indicate that the Dolphins’ front office was left scrambling for a solution after McDaniel’s departure. While the franchise had originally planned to move forward with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, lingering concerns about his health and consistency led the team to make an aggressive move to secure a future Hall of Famer in Rodgers, who remains one of the top quarterbacks in the league despite his age.
Rodgers, 41, was a free agent after a tumultuous 2024 season with the New York Jets, where he struggled to find consistency amid a season marred by injuries and team struggles. However, the Dolphins see him as a stabilizing force for their offense, bringing experience, leadership, and a track record of success that could help guide the team through its transition under a new head coach.
