The Future of the Vikings Might Depend on Aaron Rodgers’ Decision

The cute dovetail for Minnesota Vikings fans pertaining to the Aaron Rodgers drama is to speculate that he will play in Minneapolis sometime after 2021. That’s mostly a goofy talking point designed for fodder, to irritate Packers fans, or for a kickstart of some Brett Favre nostalgia. In all likelihood, Aaron Rodgers will not play for the Vikings.

However, his decision-making skills directly affect the future of the franchise. Since the end of April, Rodgers’ stiff-arm of Green Bay Packers management eclipsed anything to do with Deshaun Watson – or really anything else NFL-related. Rodgers did not show up at Packers mandatory minicamp in June, signaling a silent-but-loud confirmation of the reporting on his discontent.
