The Minnesota Vikings have yet to show their whole cards with regards to several questions involving what the quarterback room will look like in 2025, but at least one NFL analyst expects the franchise to raise some eyebrows when it finally does.
Alex Kay of Bleacher Report on Tuesday, February 11, wrote that he expects Minnesota to let Sam Darnold depart in free agency and replace him with former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will then compete with second-year signal-caller J.J. McCarthy for the starting job.
“McCarthy has stated he wants to compete for the QB1 job during training camp, a role he may have to surprisingly battle with Aaron Rodgers for. The future Hall of Famer could be on the verge of completing his Brett Favre career arc by following in the legendary Green Bay Packers gunslinger’s footsteps and finishing his career in the Twin Cities after an underwhelming stint with the New York Jets,” Kay wrote. “If Rodgers does come to Minnesota, his experience and veteran savvy should give him an edge over McCarthy in an open QB competition this offseason.”
