Report reveals stunning reason Vikings passed on Aaron Rodgers

After Sam Darnold signed with the Seahawks and Daniel Jones left for the Colts after the 2024 season, the Minnesota Vikings had J.J. McCarthy and Brett Rypien in the quarterback room when they told Aaron Rodgers that they weren't interested.

Rodgers, 41 at the time, led Pittsburgh to 10 wins while throwing for 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Injuries and inconsistent quarterback play mangled Minnesota's season, starting and ending with McCarthy and featuring stints with Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer.
