Update on the Vikings QB plans (out on Rodgers)

@TomPelissero
The #Vikings have rejected multiple trade calls on J.J. McCarthy, telling other teams they're moving forward with him as their quarterback, sources say.

The team plans to add a veteran. But they're not pursuing Aaron Rodgers at this time. McCarthy now enters the offseason as QB1.

I've been thinking there may be a dark horse for Rodgers.
The 49ers.

Well, I guess this should push Rodgers to make a decision, which will force Schoen and company to finally make a decision.

There is ongoing dialogue with Rodgers and the Steelers, per
@TomPelissero
: "I am told Rodgers is now aware Minnesota is going in another direction. For the Steelers, we know that they have prioritized Aaron Rodgers over potentially bringing back Russell Wilson. I am told there is ongoing dialogue between the Steelers, Rodgers' agent, as well as Rodgers himself, and various members of the organization." #Steelers #NFL

This could lead to the nightmare scenario where we're waiting for Rodgers who is waiting for the Vikes who are waiting to see if McCarthy is ready.  Meanwhile Wilson signs elsewhere and Winston goes somewhere else.

Am I reading this right?  Peliserro says Rodgers to Minny is a definite no, but Russini says its still possible?

[Brooklyn Dave]

The fact thatr the Giants are not doing anything but waiting on Rodgers is so dysfunctional.

I think that Schoen and Daboll feel that maybe Rodgers can win 5 or 6 gams , ( with their schedule, probably doubtful) and they will draft a young QB and then say to Mara ," we obviously improved, and we have a QB for the future , and a lot of capital so we need more time "

[Philosophers]

I wish the Giants felt so confident in a young QB the way the Vikings do with McCarthy.  They see an "it" in him.  Good luck to him.

It's only a nightmare if Schoen makes it one

So the Rodgers situation as I've been told the entire time is basically that Aaron Rodgers has let it be known through back channels so he would love to play in Minnesota. Minnesota Vikings are committed to JJ McCarthy.

McCarthy recovery has been a little bit slower than anticipated but not something that they view as a problem and they're moving forward with the idea that JJ McCarthy is going to be the starting quarterback next year.

Yes, they sat down and did a due diligence on the what if of it all, but there is no plan and no intention to sign Aaron Rodgers.

At this point in time it's smart not to say "we're never going to do it" because what if there's some setback and they can revisit that later... but as it sits JJ McCarthy is the starter has always been the plan and is the plan going forward .
