Russell Wilson has signed with the Giants, Aaron Rodgers is a free agent, and the Minnesota Vikings are rolling with JJ McCarthy as their starting quarterback (as of now). While reports have indicated that Minnesota moved on from the idea of signing Aaron Rodgers, there are new reports surfacing suggesting otherwise.
Vikings Apparently Having Change Of Heart On Aaron Rodgers
According to Vikings’ beat reporter Kevin Seifert on March 26th, 2025:
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah on if he can rule out Aaron Rodgers as a possible QB addition:
“For me to sit here and say anything is 100% forever, that’s just not the job.”
According to multiple reports prior to this statement:
Rodgers had reportedly been hoping to sign with the Vikings. But Minnesota isn’t interested in signing Rodgers at the moment, sticking with its plan to start J.J. McCarthy for the 2025 NFL season, according to multiple reports.
The Vikings had been a potential Rodgers suitor considering their developments at quarterback this offseason. Sam Darnold, who helped Minnesota go 14-3 last season, left for a three-year, $100.5 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks at the onset of free agency. Not long after, Daniel Jones, who backed up Darnold at the end of the season, agreed to a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts, where he’s expected to compete with Anthony Richardson for the starting job.
Those moves, along with Nick Mullens signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars, have left McCarthy as the Vikings’ only quarterback. While Minnesota made a major investment in McCarthy last offseason when it selected him with the 10th overall pick in the NFL Draft, he has yet to play a regular-season snap due to the meniscus tear he suffered last preseason.
Here is a look at Rodgers’ full stats against Aaron Rodgers:
