OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Bretsky]

I've always predicted that Rodgers if he wants to could be better to an older age than Brady. Barring a serious injury, I still expect him to be good.

Just like last year, right ?

He might be fine

Clearly the SHITBAG wants to to to the Minnesota Vikings

I could be wrong. I doubt it. You'll probably blame it on the rest of the team, even though it will be three different teams if he doesn't do well next year.

The dude is toast. He was toast before he went to the Jets. This isn't a Brady situation where he's putting in the work and maximizing within the system.

If you're wondering why Rodgers is taking so long to decide, it seems that some of the blame for the delay belongs with the Minnesota Vikings. According to The Athletic, the Vikings are still having discussions what they want to do at quarterback in 2025, and part of those discussions revolve around whether they want to make a play for Rodgers.

The team still hasn't made a decision, so Rodgers "is giving them time and waiting to hear from" them, The Athletic has reported. Although the Steelers and Giants have been the two teams that have shown the most interest in Rodgers, the Vikings have long been viewed as a dark horse team to land him.

As CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones noted on Friday, "If the Vikings wanted [Aaron] Rodgers, he would already be a Minnesota Viking." So now, as the Vikings try to make a decision, Rodgers is simply playing the waiting game.

The Vikings let Sam Darnold leave in free agency, and right now, the only two quarterbacks they have on the roster are two players -- J.J. McCarthy and Brett Rypien -- who have never taken a regular-season snap. McCarthy, the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is coming off a devastating knee injury that caused him to miss the entire 2024 season, so the Vikings might be trying to figure out if it actually makes sense to go into the season with him as the starter.

As things stand, the decision doesn't seem to be about money. According to The Athletic, the Giants have made the largest contract offer to Rodgers up to this point, and if it was all about money, he would have already accepted the offer.

There are a lot of NFL minds who think that Rodgers would be a perfect fit in Minnesota and Rodgers might feel the same way, which would explain why he's willing to wait. Sauce Gardner thinks Rodgers should go to Minnesota: The Jets corner recently wrote on social media that Rodgers might lead the NFL in every stat if he ends up with the Vikings.


Brett Favre also thinks Rodgers should do what he can to try and sign with the 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 an appearance on "The Will Cain Show" on Tuesday.

Favre went from the Packers to the Jets to the Vikings in his career, and now, Rodgers has the chance to do the same thing.

I'm still hoping for a Minnesota-former-Packer-QB reunion. But it looks like the Steelers will get Rodgers, so he can get hammered by Myles Garrett twice a year.

I think Tomlin gets to probably give his thoughts on the players, but that's the GM making moves. Also, Pickens is on the last year of his rookie contract; I suspect Metcalf is his replacement.
Rodgers could go there, it would be better than NYG for sure. Also: I think GB plays the AFC North this year? If that's the case, and Rodgers is there you better believe that will be Game of the Week material.

[Deputy Nutz]

Ok, to lure Rodgers the Steelers went and traded for Metcalf and paid him 33 million a year. I think Tomlin realizes he might be on the hot seat with fans and the organization will always back Tomlin, going for broke is never a great strategy

[Joemailman]

A lot of talk Steelers are closing in on a deal with Rodgers.

[Fritz]

Okay . . ,. waiting for Tex to step in here, after Bobble's post . . .

[bobblehead]

28th in QBR, 22nd in passer rating, 28th in yards per attempt, 34th in completion pct., even his INT's was just average, 13th in TD pct. And Adams and Garrett Wilson are one of the better WR duos. It is past time.

You have proven my point on the value of a top tier OL.

[bobblehead]

Hahahaa, exactly.

Holy shit, love is in the air and Woodbuck is back. I need to go buy some roses for the wife and stop reading before my head hurts.

Good for him to get a good contract and he was mvp and mvp level for the end of his run with us. He shouldn’t have gone to the Jets and just retired then. Now he certainly should / but some team will take a flyer on him and maybe he’ll have a Peyton moment.

I'd give greater odds of him having a peyote moment.

[Fosco33]

Too late for that. Retiring before the huge deal he signed with the Packers would have been the right time. He hasn't been good since.

It seems to me that the most likely thing is he goes to the Raiders.
