Whether Aaron Rodgers playing for the Minnesota Vikings is actually something under consideration by the Minnesota brain trust or simply a manifestation of the quarterback’s deepest wishes that he hopes to impart on Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell via osmosis, it’s not as strange as it sounds. In fact, it’s so sensible that I’m not quite sure why the Vikings haven’t snapped Rodgers off that quiet beach enclave yet and wrapped him in a purple towel.
While I am admittedly one of the people who thinks that last year’s tragedy-comedy was far more in the hands of owner Woody Johnson than in the lap of the mercurial, 40-something quarterback and was heavily encouraging of the New York Jets to put themselves at Rodgers’s feet in the first place, it isn’t hard to come up with several reasons why the Vikings shouldn’t dawdle any longer before delivering an absolute offseason sledgehammer.
