Aaron Rodgers has been informed by the Minnesota Vikings that they are not interested in signing him right now. However, in a crucial turn of events, that doesnāt imply there couldnāt be a change in the final decision close to the start of the season, according to the latest report from Dianna Russini.
āThe Vikings have strongly considered and will continue to monitor Aaron Rodgers as an option, but theyāre not ready to commit at this point in the offseason, per sources. They understand this could lead to him signing elsewhere or retiring. J.J. McCarthyās spring will be key. Thereās no āinā or āoutā on Aaron Rodgers from Minnesota. Theyāre simply not making a decision at this time. Now, we wait to see what Rodgers wants to do.ā
This means that if Rodgers wants to sign soon, his options are reduced to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants. However, another alternative is to wait and see how J.J. McCarthy develops in training camp, and if the Vikings arenāt convinced, maybe the former Super Bowl champion quarterback would receive the call heās been waiting for.
Will Vikings sign Aaron Rodgers?
No. At this moment, the Vikings are not considering signing Aaron Rodgers. This information was confirmed today by Tom Pelissero, who stated that Minnesota has already informed the quarterback of this decision.
Russiniās report differs from Pelisseroās by emphasizing that the decision to reject Rodgers is not yet final, as it remains subject to J.J. McCarthyās development in the months leading up to the season. Itās important to remember that the young Michigan prospect suffered a serious knee injury.
