Although the Steelers seem to be the only option that remains for Aaron Rodgers. Perhaps the 41-year-old man is waiting to make his free agency decision because he keeps hope that the Vikings will overturn the course.
The current Minnesota plan is to give the reins to JJ McCarthy, the first round of last year which missed all its recruit season after having undergone a knee operation.
But the Vikings seem to leave the door ajar for Rodgers, because Kevin Seifert of ESPN writes it that “McCarthy should demonstrate overwhelming evidence this spring that he will not be ready to play this season, no longer because of an injury or a complete reversion of the skills and the ability he demonstrated during his short term in the summer training camp.”
The Vikings are in win-plus mode from a 14-3 season during which Sam Darnold revitalized his career; He signed with the Seahawks in a free agency.
Vikings Brass expressed his confidence in McCarthy, but it would not be a total shock if a quarter who has not yet played a click of the NFL of the regular season was not completely ready to lead a team to a championship assertion.
Rodgers and the Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell became friendly when O’Connell was still a player.
“He turned out to be at one point in his career where he was free to have a real dialogue on what his future might look like,” O’Connell told journalists this week at the League meeting in Palm Beach, by ESPN. “And we were one of those teams he contacted. And I had a personal relationship with him in return since my days of play. ”
The Giants continued Rodgers but chose to sign Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston to join Tommy Devito and a potential recovery choice in their quarter-arre room.
Rodgers recently visited brass steelers in their team, and the owner Art Rooney II told journalists this week that he “continued to hear” Rodgers was bound for Pittsburgh.
The video surface this week of rodgers working with the new Receiver of the Steelers DK Metcalf gives credits to the comments of Rooney.
But perhaps the heart of the long-standing QB is in the Midwest, and it is ready to wait to see if the Vikings light up the bat signal.
