Aaron Rodgers' Free Agency Decision Hinges on Vikings' Next Move

The Minnesota Vikings are deliberating whether to sign Aaron Rodgers, potentially delaying second-year QB J.J. McCarthy’s starting role.

Aaron Rodgers is reportedly waiting for the Minnesota Vikings to decide if they will offer him a contract before committing to the New York Giants or Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Vikings are debating whether Rodgers, at 41 years old, could elevate their Super Bowl-caliber roster or if they should prioritize developing J.J. McCarthy, their 2024 first-round draft pick.
McCarthy, who missed his rookie season due to knee surgeries, has expressed admiration for Rodgers but remains an untested option for the Vikings’ starting quarterback role.
Analysts are divided on whether the Vikings should pursue Rodgers, citing his age, recent struggles with the Jets, and potential off-field distractions.
If Rodgers joins the Vikings, it would mirror Brett Favre's career trajectory, as both quarterbacks would have played for the Packers, Jets, and Vikings.
