GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - In a recent interview, former Packers quarterback Brett Favre encouraged Aaron Rodgers to sign with the Minnesota Vikings.
“By all means, sign with them. They got a really good football team. They’re loaded at pretty much every position,” Favre said during a Tuesday interview on Fox News. “They made it to the playoffs last year. They got a tremendous fan base, much like the Packers. If you get the opportunity, that’s a good place to win. Of course, you gotta play the Packers then.”
Rodgers signing with the Vikings would follow in Favre’s footsteps. Favre went from the Packers to the Jets to the Vikings and reached an NFC championship game.
Aaron Rodgers is a four-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion and future first-ballot Hall of Famer. He still may have to wait until after the draft to find a new team for 2025, the Associated Press reported.
The New York Jets announced last month they’re releasing the 41-year-old quarterback after two disappointing seasons.
Rodgers hasn’t said he definitely plans to keep playing, though he recently said he’d like to go to a team that wants him.
