Rodgers to Cowboys OC: “Pay Me, and I’ll Bring Dallas a Super Bowl in 2025!”
Hold onto your Stetsons, Cowboys Nation! A bombshell report claims Aaron Rodgers has been whispering sweet nothings (and lofty promises) to Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, guaranteeing a Super Bowl victory in 2025 *if* Jerry Jones ponies up the cash. Is this the savior Cowboys fans have been waiting for, or just Rodgers leveraging America’s Team for a final, massive payday?
Sources: “Rodgers Said He’d Guarantee a Lombardi”
The alleged conversation, as told by “sources familiar with the situation” (insert eye roll here), reportedly went down something like this: Rodgers, with a twinkle in his eye, telling Schottenheimer, “Get me to Dallas, pay me what I’m worth, and I will hand you the Lombardi Trophy in 2025. I guarantee it.”
Dak Attack or Rodgers Revolution?
The elephant in the AT&T Stadium is, of course, Dak Prescott. Prescott has been the Cowboys’ starter since 2016, but has faced criticism for his playoff performances. Would Jerry Jones really be willing to move on from Dak Prescott in favor of Rodgers, who, despite being a four-time MVP, is coming off a significant injury and will be 41 years old in 2024? Is this a sign that Dak Prescott’s time with the Cowboys is coming to an end?
### Jerry’s World, Aaron’s Show?
Jerry Jones has never been shy about chasing big names. He’s always wanted to be the show. The chance to bring in Aaron Rodgers, even at a premium, would be a move straight out of the Jerry Jones playbook. If it leads to the Cowboys’ first Super Bowl win since 1996, it would be a move celebrated to great fanfare.
### The Risk Factor: Age and Injury
Rodgers is no spring chicken. He’s coming off a torn Achilles, and there’s no guarantee he’ll return to his previous form. Even if he does, he’s still a quarterback entering his twilight years. Is it worth mortgaging the Cowboys’ future on a player who could break down at any moment?
### The Haters Are Already Salivating
If Rodgers does end up in Dallas and fails to deliver on his Super Bowl promise, the criticism will be deafening. His detractors will be quick to point out that he’s washed up, overpaid, and a distraction.
