Aaron Rodgers is still a possibility for the Minnesota Vikings, according to the latest report from Dianna Russini. For several weeks now, the insider has maintained that the call could happen despite the team publicly backing J.J. McCarthy as their starting quarterback.
âI do think thereâs a world, and I know Vikings fans donât want to see it, whether itâs their hate for Aaron Rodgers, whether itâs they feel that JJâs not getting a fair shake, whatever the reason is for why some Vikings fans donât want to see Aaron Rodgers, they have to come to grips. There is a world that exists this year where Aaron Rodgers hangs out and the Minnesota Vikings pick up the phone and they make the call. It could happen.â
The Vikings undeniably have a roster to compete for the Super Bowl, and thatâs the reason why Rodgers isnât fully convinced about signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the moment, despite strong interest from Mike Tomlinâs team.
Is Aaron Rodgers retiring or signing with Vikings?
Aaron Rodgers is not currently considering retirement from football, but that decision fully depends on which team becomes available in the coming months. As of today, the only option he has is the Pittsburgh Steelers.
However, if the veteran decides to wait, the Vikings might not be convinced by what they see in McCarthy and could end up making the call. The problem is if the Michigan prospect shines, then Rodgers could end up without a team, since the Steelers arenât going to wait around until August.
