NFL News: Aaron Rodgers will reportedly not sign with Vikings after Minnesota’s latest stance on J.J. McCarthy

The Minnesota Vikings remain convinced that J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback of the future, so if Aaron Rodgers wants to keep playing, he will have to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to a report by Albert Breer, there are no doubts for Kevin O’Connell.

“The Minnesota Vikings are going forward with J.J. McCarthy. And to me, the interesting part of all this, the offers made for Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones to stay, then the exploration of a Rodgers union, is how it reflects where Minnesota is with its roster now.”

The Vikings have a Super Bowl caliber offense with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but after Sam Darnold’s departure, the big question is whether McCarthy will be ready to take the next step in the playoffs.

Who will be Vikings starting quarterback?

J.J. McCarthy will be the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. According to Breer’s information, the team’s front office and coaching staff are convinced that the Michigan prospect will be a star over the next decade.

“I know they’re encouraged by where he is now, versus where he was six months ago. They’ll have the spring to take a really hard look at that progress and, since they didn’t add competition, McCarthy will be able to gobble up all the reps and show he’s ready to handle that.”
