An NFL insider posted an update on Aaron Rodgers that could impact the New York Giants.
Aaron Rodgers watch rolled on for New York Giants fans on March 14, and there have been conflicting reports from different NFL insiders regarding the Minnesota Vikings’ interest in the four-time NFL MVP.
The Athletic’s lead insider Dianna Russini addressed these conflicting reports on Friday, confidently stating the following:
“Here’s what you need to know. The Vikings are having discussions about what they want to do at quarterback and if they want Rodgers. Rodgers is giving them time and waiting to hear from Minnesota. The Vikings have yet to make a decision. We all wait.”
Needless to say, this is a concerning update for the Giants, if accurate, because they’re clearly second fiddle to Minnesota in the pursuit of Rodgers. And the longer they wait, the more likely it is they miss out on backup QB options like Russell Wilson.
The Vikings traded up to draft J.J. McCarthy in round one last year, but he missed his entire rookie season with knee surgery. McCarthy is still very young, having just turned 22 years old in January, so Minnesota is likely debating whether or not they’d like to sit him for another season in 2025 — as they originally planned to do in 2024.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY. MORE TO COME.
