EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have moved forward with a roster revolving around J.J. McCarthy as their starting quarterback and tabled consideration of Aaron Rodgers — even if the door remains open at least a little.
General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah confirmed Wednesday that the Vikings had extensive conversations about and with Rodgers, the four-time NFL MVP award winner who was recently released by the New York Jets.
The plan all along has been to turn the offense over to McCarthy this season, even if the injury that erased his rookie year and set up Sam Darnold for his breakout performance was entirely unexpected.
