Rumor I last heard:  Minnesota.  Discuss.

Makes sense, following in Favre's footsteps. If Brett could pull of a come back as a Viking after a crappy Jets stint, then so can Aaron.  My question is why did they draft McCarthy in first round?  Did he have a rehab setback or is it a long recovery?  I'm not sure Aaron wants to go somewhere just for one season if McCarthy is the 2026 starter.

Why in God's name would the Vikings want Rodgers??? They just spent a top 10 pick on McCarthy and they're letting Darnold walk who played really well for them. Rodgers would've been exciting five years ago. Not so much now.

To your point:

If the Vikings are legitimately interested in Rodgers, it tells me that the team has real concerns about McCarthy being ready for the start of the season.

Re-signing Darnold just doesn't make sense for Darnold, even if he knows McCarthy won't be ready to start the season, as the Vikings wouldn't be signing him to a long term deal, which he can get this year, no reason to take another 1 year deal just to hope he plays well enough again to get it next year.

If the Vikings still believe in McCarthy but that he won't be ready for the start of the season, going with someone like Daniel Jones wouldn't really make a ton of sense either, not if they still want to compete for the division.  So yea, someone like Rodgers, who likely only has 1 year left anyways and already said he is open to mentoring a young QB, makes a ton of sense.

Except in your scenario Darnold on the tag makes a lot more sense than the ghost of what used to be Aaron Rodgers

Taking Rodgers doesn’t mean they are worried about McCarthy. He’s a rookie QB coming off of an ACL and Rodgers is a Hall of Famer you could pair with Addison, Jefferson, and O’Connell for a year, as well as Aaron Jones. That gives him a better offensive staff than he ever had in Green Bay.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
