The Vikings haven't slammed the door on the possibility of adding Aaron Rodgers or any other quarterback to the roster before the start of the 2025 season, but the first choice in Minnesota is for 2024 first-round pick J.

The Minnesota Vikings believe in J.J. McCarthy. Despite meeting with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers during the offseason, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he feels "very good" about McCarthy's ability moving forward.

Asked about the elephant in the room Monday morning at the NFL Owners Meetings, O’Connell confirmed that he has talked to Rodgers before immediately shifting the focus to the future face of the franchise, whom the Vikings selected with the No. 10 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
