In recent days, Aaron Rodgers has been strongly linked to the Minnesota Vikings. Amid these rumors, the club is eyeing the arrival of a new wide receiver to support their potential new starting quarterback.
The Vikings will have a new signal-caller leading the offense in 2025. The club parted ways with Sam Darnold after declining to offer him the contract extension he desired, allowing him to join the Seahawks this offseason.
According to reports, Minnesota is closely monitoring Aaron Rodgers’ situation. Amid these speculations, the front office is working on building a stronger offense to compete in the upcoming season.

Following this setback, the Vikings named Sam Darnold the starter. He had an impressive year, but the club was unable to retain him, and the veteran quarterback ultimately chose to join the Seahawks this offseason.
Now, the NFC North franchise faces a big challenge. McCarthy has not yet fully recovered from his injury, which has fueled rumors that a veteran quarterback could join the team— with Aaron Rodgers being the biggest name linked to Minnesota.
As of today, reports suggest the Vikings are competing with the Steelers and Giants for the former Jets quarterback. While that situation remains unresolved, Minnesota is already preparing to bolster its offense with a new wide receiver.
Rondale Moore, former wide receiver of the Cardinals
On Friday, free agent Rondale Moore visited the Vikings. The team announced the meeting on social media but did not confirm whether the wide receiver would be signed.
Moore was a second-round pick by the Cardinals in 2021 and spent three seasons in Arizona. He was traded to the Falcons last year, but a knee injury sidelined him for the entire campaign.
Who are the wide receivers of the Vikings?
While Aaron Rodgers decides where to play next, the Vikings are focused on solidifying their offense. Justin Jefferson stands out as the biggest star, but he is not the only talented receiver on the roster.
