As the Steelers waited out Aaron Rodgers's prolonged free agency period this spring, there were also reports that Rodgers was interested in the Vikings, who could've used him to capitalize on the momentum from their strong 2024 season and also serve as a mentor to a young J.J. McCarthy.
Ultimately, nothing came of that pursuit, as the Vikings opted to put it all on McCarthy while Rodgers, of course, landed with Pittsburgh. But the veteran QB was nonetheless asked about those discussions again on Wednesday, ahead of the Steelers' game vs. the Vikings in Ireland this weekend.
