The Green Bay Packers made a couple splash signings early in the off-season. OL Aaron Banks and CB Nate Hobbs addressed two areas of concern immediately. It is expected that Green Bay’s off-season moves are far from over.
However, one former starter has decided to team up with the enemy.
There is certainly an implication here that Rodgers is very interested in hearing what the Vikings have to say. It is possible he just wants to maximize his options, but it is also plausible that he has the most interest in playing for Minnesota.
Rodgers’ stance would make sense if he wants to win another Super Bowl. The Vikings were by far the best of the three teams interested in him in 2024, going 14-3. He would also get to stick it to the Green Bay Packers twice a year if he were to join Minnesota. The move would also have the endorsement of a legendary quarterback who already followed essentially the same career path.
Aaron Rodgers is still keeping the NFL waiting as he decides on a new team, but there are indications that one franchise in particular is of major interest to him.
Dianna Russini of The Athletic offered an update Friday regarding the state of play in the Rodgers sweepstakes. Russini wrote that the Vikings are still discussing whether or not to pursue Rodgers, and that Rodgers is giving them time to make that decision.
