April Fools Day brought one of the more surprising NFL storylines on Wednesday, April 1 when Pro Football Talk insider Mike Florio suggested the Denver Broncos were interesting in bringing Aaron Rodgers in for a workout.
“There’s talk of the Broncos possibly bringing Rodgers in for a visit. The motivation comes from the possibility that current starter Bo Nix won’t be fully and completely back to 100 percent when Week 1 rolls around,” Pro Football Talk reported this morning.
Florio made it clear this wasn’t an April Fools’ Day gag.
“It’s all very early. And it’s not an April Fool’s Day gag. The Broncos could be turning to Rodgers, at a time when the Steelers have assumed the position for the second straight offseason.”

Broncos insider Benjamin Allbright didn’t take long to respond to the rumors.
“The Broncos are not lurking. They don’t have an eye on it,” he said in a report on social media. “It is, per source ‘made up’ It is April 1, so that’s the theory on its origins, from Broncos brass.”
Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy made it clear earlier this week that he’s had several conversations with Rodgers over the past few months regarding the 2026 season.
“I’ve talked to Aaron regularly and will continue to do so. We’re just working through it. When it’s time to fully address it we will, but it’s a process that he’s going through and I’m comfortable with it. We’ve had very, very positive conversations on a weekly basis,” he said at the time.
Rodgers to the Broncos doesn’t appear to be more than smoke at this point.
