Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is considering his next move after 20 years with the team. While he has options to join either the Pittsburgh Steelers or New York Giants, some believe he could follow in Hall of Famer Brett Favre’s footsteps and retire in Minnesota.
Favre, who played 16 seasons in Green Bay before joining the Jets and finishing his career in Minnesota, encouraged Rodgers to consider the Vikings. “They got a really good football team,” Favre said. “They’re loaded at pretty much every position” and boast a strong fan base reminiscent of the Packers.
A move to Minnesota would be a comfortable fit for Rodgers, who has played 18 years with the Packers. The team’s offense is designed by Kevin O’Connell, which is seen as dynamic, and they have a high-paid wide receiver in Justin Jefferson. Additionally, the Vikings bulked up their offensive line this offseason.
However, joining the Steelers or Giants would provide more opportunities to start, especially with J.J. McCarthy returning from injury. Nevertheless, Minnesota’s offense seems like an attractive option for Rodgers, who may see it as a chance to win with the team.
