The Minnesota Vikings have reportedly accelerated their search for a backup quarterback after informing Aaron Rodgers that, for the moment, J.J. McCarthy is the chosen one for the starting role.
In that tier, there are still several names available, such as Jameis Winston, Carson Wentz, and even Russell Wilson if the veteran doesnât settle with the Pittsburgh Steelers or the New York Giants.
However, a 40-year-old Super Bowl champion quarterback (who is not Rodgers) could emerge as the big surprise to become the Vikingsâ No. 2 quarterback, helping in McCarthyâs development.
Are the Vikings signing Aaron Rodgers?
The Minnesota Vikings arenât signing Aaron Rodgers, which forces them to look for a reliable backup quarterback. Itâs important to remember that there is still uncertainty about J.J. McCarthyâs level of play, considering he is recovering from a serious knee injury.
In this scenario, a report from Albert Breer indicates that the Vikings have shown interest in Joe Flacco. In recent years, the veteran has done a great job as a backup, as when called upon, he revitalized the Browns, leading them to the playoffs, and also performed better than Anthony Richardson in Indianapolis.
