Aaron Rodgers, whether he's pondering his life on a beach, playing catch with DK Metcalf, or enjoying a vacation in Tijuana, remains the No. 1 subject of the NFL offseason. Despite the frequent Rodgers-to-Minnesota speculation, it seems more likely than ever that J.J. McCarthy is QB1 in Minnesota.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said the Vikings' interest in Aaron Rodgers was just a unique opportunity and not reflective of any concerns about young QB J.J. McCarthy.

Despite organizational confidence in J.J. McCarthy, the Minnesota Vikings have not put their ongoing flirtation with Aaron Rodgers entirely to rest. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah spoke with local media on Wednesday, March 26 -- three weeks through peak free agency -- and did not squash the Rodgers rumors once and for all.
