Raiders are betting favorites to be Aaron Rodgers’ 2023 team

If the betting markets know something, Aaron Rodgers is heading to Las Vegas.

The betting odds at DraftKings have the Raiders as -390 favorites to be the team Rodgers takes his first snap for in the 2023 regular season.

The Packers are a distant second at +300, followed by the Jets at +600, Buccaneers at +1500 and the Patriots, 49ers, Commanders and Titans all at +2000.

When DraftKings previously offered odds on Rodgers’ 2023 team, the Packers and Jets were co-favorites, with the Raiders a distant third. It’s not clear what information might have led to the shift toward the Raiders, although Raiders receiver Davante Adams has been publicly talking up the possibility of reuniting with Rodgers.

For his part, Rodgers says he hasn’t made any decisions about his 2023 status, and won’t until spending four days and nights in total darkness and isolation.

  1. it’s a foolish bet. Rodgers is not going to want to be in the same division as Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and a potential resurgent Russell Wilson. AR shirks away from top QB competition as he tends to fall short (check the playoffs every year for the past 12 season) and it hurts the perception that he’s #1. He prefers dueling with the Bears and Lions…

  2. I don’t see why Rodgers would want to go there but if they want to take on his contract and hand over some nice draft picks I would be more than happy to turn the page. Raiders aren’t Super Bowl contenders with or without Rodgers. They deserve each other though.

  3. What’s the difference between days and nights in total darkness and isolation and playing for the Raiders?

  4. The Raiders best bet would be to sign a veteran like Jimmy G and draft best QB available at 7 and let him sit for a year maybe two. But because that seems like the smartest and most logical thing to happen, they will trade everything to get Rodgers and set the team back even further.

  5. As a Jets fan, fine by me. His salary, draft pick cost, salary cap hit, age, and the probability he’ll play only one more year, two at most, makes me yell a resounding, “no thanks.”

  6. So the Packers went 8-9 last year playing a soft schedule…do you really think Rodgers will fare any better playing on a Raiders team set to have a brutal schedule that has a much worse defense? Might as well just stay in GB then but if the Packers can get the Raiders to cough up their next two firsts, that would be quite the haul.

  7. Wouldn’t the packers have to give up two first round picks to get the Raiders to take on that salary?

    ——————————————————————————
    The Packers have lost the lost four NFCCGs they’ve played in. In those games their defense has given up an average of 35 points/game. For context, no Super Bowl winning QB has ever overcome an opponent who scored that much. Not Brady, not Montana, not Aikman…nobody. And no team in the NFL gave up that many points/game last year. The one year he had an elite defense, he got a ring. Rodgers may have missed some opportunities to win games. But he sure didn’t lose them.

  9. They would be better off with help at OL and DB with a little more depth where they can find it.

  10. If the Raiders are willing to pay that salary and mortgage their future by giving up draft capital for one or maybe two years of mediocre performance (probably no better than Carr would have given them), then the stupidity of their owner goes way beyond his choice of a barber.

    Reunited with Devante and no state tax on his $$$. I think he ends up there as well

    ———-

    There’s definitely state income tax in California and it’s one of the higher rates in the nation

  13. Could Rodgers have simply “Lost It”? I find this total darkness stuff had to believe. The guy doesn’t even talk to his mother and sends their Christmas presents back to his parents, unopened. This kind of behavior is just weird. I’m a Packers fan from California and personally don’t care if he retires or if he plays as long as it isn’t with the Packers this year.

  14. Wish we could give it a rest with the “Almighty AFCW” stuff. Kansas City is obviously good. LAC are up and down, like their QB. And who’s scared of Denver?

    Las Vegas is in Nevada not California

    ==========

    His cap hit is 10th among QBs for 2023.

    8th for 2024…. before a few of the young QBs get their massive deals.

    The Packers don’t have to do anything. They are one of the best at managing their cap. They have been since it was instituted.

  17. Rodgers will be back with the Packers.

    New York is a circus. Rodgers would be miserable there, not being able to control the narrative.

    It took Rodgers a full year to get comfortable in LaFluers offense when he was hired. He’s not going to want to start over with McDaniels at this point in his career.

  18. Enough with the AFC West is all that!Chiefs are great but Chargers with that coach,yeah not so great.Broncos might be good in a year or two after Payton gets things fixed,but he only won one SB with a HOF QB.Same rip Rodgers gets but Brees and Payton never get ripped.
    AR with Adams,Waller,Jacobs and Refroe have the makings of a pretty good offense.Anyone who thinks Carr is close to Rodgers in talent has no clue.Raiders would be ahead of the Chargers
    immediately. Thinking Chiefs would welcome some competition.

  19. Rodgers has already spent more than 4 days in total darkness and isolation while he was in Green Bay.

  20. I pray Woody Johnson and his egomania don’t succumb to the urge to sign Rodgers. I would guarantee another decade of descent and destroy the sense of team they are working so hard to build. The only thing he is an answer to is a death wish.

    The media and Johnson’s ego are the only people who want to see the Jets get Rodgers.
