Rodgers Rumors Hover Over Vikings’ QB Plan After GM Firing
After the Vikings fired GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, the team’s quarterback strategy faced renewed scrutiny as Aaron Rodgers reportedly explored joining Minnesota and ownership meddling was alleged amid a media circus. Rodgers was willing to take a team-friendly deal, but Minnesota didn’t seal a deal and instead evaluated veterans like Daniel Jones, Joe Flacco, and Ryan Tannehill; the club later traded for Sam Howell and signed Carson Wentz, whose injury issues strained the QB situation. Separately, reports criticized the Thielen trade as a depth-driven move influenced by leadership stepping in rather than Adofo-Mensah’s plan.
